There’s a war being fought, and we are losing it.

Despite the vast amounts of dollars spent since 9/11 wanting to beat terrorist organizations, the so-called Islamic State, Al Qaeda, and other groups stay a terrifying geopolitical threat. In some ways the risk has grown worse: The 9/11 hijackers came from far away; the danger today can come from anywhere-from the other part of the world to across the street. Struggling to stem recruitment, we seem doomed to a worsening struggle with a continuously about How We Get: How Cutting-Edge Entrepreneurs, Politics Visionaries, Enlightened Business Leaders, and SOCIAL NETWORKING Mavens Can Defeat the Extremist Threat growing enemy that continues to be several steps ahead of us. Sadly, current policies seem almost guaranteed never to decrease extremist violence but instead to make it less complicated for terrorists to pass on their hateful suggestions, recruit new associates, and perform attacks.

We actually possess the means right now to inoculate areas against extremist ideologies. In HOW EXACTLY WE Win, Farah Pandith presents a groundbreaking new analysis of global extremism as well as powerful but seldom-used strategies for vanquishing it. Drawing on her appointments to eighty countries, the a huge selection of interviews and focus groups she’s carried out all over the world, and her high-level experience in the Bush and Obama administrations, Pandith argues for any paradigm shift in our approach to fight extremism, one that mobilizes the knowledge and sources of diplomats, corporate and business leaders, mental health experts, social researchers, entrepreneurs, local communities, and, most of all, global youngsters themselves.

There is a war being fought, and we are able to win it. This is how.
