In the book, the authors showed how the terrorist threat is evolving, with a broadening array of tactics, an army of new fighters and a widening base of support in the global Muslim community. They made the case that America has the capacity to stem the tide of Islamic terrorism, but that this will require a far-reaching and creative new strategy, one that is less militarized and more committed to reform. They also argued that America’s increasing tendency to frame the conflict in religious terms has undermined our ability to advance our interests.
After their presentation, the authors were joined in a panel discussion. After the discussion, the panelists responded to questions and comments from members of the audience.
