"Drawing on her decades of experience, Pandith unweaves the tangled
web of extremism and demonstrates how government officials, tech
CEOs, and concerned citizens alike can do their part to defeat it."
- Former Secretary of State Madeleine K. Albright There is a war
being fought, and we are losing it. Despite the billions of dollars
spent since 9/11 trying to defeat terrorist organizations, the
so-called Islamic State, Al Qaeda, and other groups remain a
terrifying geopolitical threat. In some ways the threat has grown
worse: The 9/11 hijackers came from far away; the danger today can
come from anywhere-from the other side of the world to across the
street. Unable to stem recruitment, we seem doomed to a worsening
struggle with a constantly evolving enemy that remains several
steps ahead of us. Unfortunately, current policies seem almost
guaranteed not to reduce extremist violence but instead to make it
easier for terrorists to spread their hateful ideas, recruit new
members, and carry out attacks. We actually possess the means right
now to inoculate communities against extremist ideologies. In How
We Win, Farah Pandith presents a revolutionary new analysis of
global extremism as well as powerful but seldom-used strategies for
vanquishing it. Drawing on her visits to eighty countries, the
hundreds of interviews and focus groups she's conducted around the
world, and her high-level experience in the Bush and Obama
administrations, Pandith argues for a paradigm shift in our
approach to combat extremism, one that mobilizes the expertise and
resources of diplomats, corporate leaders, mental health experts,
social scientists, entrepreneurs, local communities, and, most of
all, global youth themselves. There is a war being fought, and we
can win it. This is how.
