"Atran explores the way terrorists think of themselves and teaches us, at last, intelligent ways to think about terrorists." —Christopher Dickey, Newsweek Middle East Editor and author of Securing the City
Talking to the Enemy is an eye-opening and important book that offers a startling look deep inside terror groups. Based on the author's unprecedented access to and in-depth interviews with terrorists and jihadis—including Al Qaeda, Hamas, and Taliban extremists and members of other radical organizations—Talking to the Enemy provides fresh insight and unexpected answers to why there are people in this world willing to kill and die for a cause. A riveting, compelling work in the tradition of The Looming Tower and Terror in the Name of God, Talking to the Enemy is required reading for anyone interested in making the world a safer, more secure place for everyone.
"Scott Atran is one of the very few persons who understand religion and have figured out that religion is not about belief and cannot be naively replaced without severe side effects." —Nassim Nicholas Taleb, New York Times-bestselling author of The Black Swan
"Historically keen and astutely humanistic . . . the author's deep penetration into anthropological explanations of evolution, teamwork, blood sport and war attempt to define what it means to be human." —Kirkus Reviews
