Exciting news: GOD, GUNS, and SEDITION is out today in paperback!

My @cfr_org and @columbiaUP book, co-authored with the great @hoffman_bruce, tells the story of far-right terrorism in America and beyond—a topic that sadly remains as relevant as ever. https://t.co/2ag6KsNe17

Tampoco yo conocía a @LaTormenta_Eds hasta la estupenda presentación de libro por @Jacob_A_Ware y @hoffman_bruce en Madrid.

Obviamente esta misma noche comenzare la lectura del libro.

Fue un gran honor unirme a nuestro brillante prologuista @mr_demiguel y al incomparable equipo de @LaTormenta_Eds en Madrid para debatir sobre las conclusiones de nuestro libro Dios, armas y sedición. ¡Una ciudad preciosa y un público fantástico! 🇪🇸

"An unblinking and clarifying account of the right-wing extremism that has long percolated in the United States and has now burgeoned." @ColumbiaUP @hoffman_bruce https://t.co/lwijOyswJS

[Jacob Ware @Jacob_A_Ware]

It was such an honor to join our brilliant prologist @mr_demiguel and the unparalleled team at @LaTormenta_Eds in Madrid to discuss findings from our book God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America. A beautiful city and a great audience! 🇪🇸

That's a description that could also fit neo-Nazi types with their recruitment activities too...

[Bruce Hoffman @hoffman_bruce]

A key theme of the forthcoming 4th edition of InsideTerrorism is how terrorism is increasingly being legitimized & excused. More evidence since I submitted the ms. for peer review in April: “Oxford Union president said Hamas would be ‘lauded as heroes’” https://t.co/TvaMPaXFBX

@SulkinMaya @TheFP As a reminder, I recently released a long report on youth radicalization for @TheSoufanCenter. It’s an enormously challenging issue — an era-defining, existential terrorism threat that cannot simply be ignored.

[Jacob Ware @Jacob_A_Ware]

“Isolated, autistic, and targeted by jihadist extremists online, the teen fits an increasingly recognizable mold of who gets indoctrinated online.”

Really good work on our youth radicalization emergency by @SulkinMaya in @TheFP. https://t.co/4tHQMH3RrG

“Terrorists broke into our home… They targeted our most vulnerable family member.”

But “the last thing we’re going to do is create a barrier between us and our son.” @SulkinMaya @TheFP https://t.co/4tHQMH3RrG

"To follow the history of assassination is to watch states increasingly take to heart Max Weber’s maxim that states’ stability depends on establishing a monopoly on legitimate violence in a territory."

[Jacob Ware @Jacob_A_Ware]

NEW: Delighted to provide a review of Simon Ball's excellent @yalepress book — Death to Order — for @lawfare. Compellingly, Ball finds that assassinations have typically served as irritations, not existential threats to democracy. https://t.co/Iy6wyciXys

Happy Pride Month in the gayest city in the world!

[Jacob Ware @Jacob_A_Ware]

Very cool case study on public-private partnerships for removal of extremist online content from Spain. The model "privileges prevention and cooperation over coercive regulatory enforcement." 🇪🇸 @spaceisauk_ @rielcano https://t.co/7EHh0fReVK

Jacob Ware reviews Simon Ball’s “Death to Order: A Modern History of Assassination” and its implications in an era marred by violent rhetoric.

“[T]hose making the plans in Washington believe overwhelming force can compensate for asymmetric motivation. It cannot. America may have the force, but the other side has the will.” @IvoHDaalder

Indeed. Irregular warfare ignored once again in #Iran. https://t.co/le5SB63AyX

[Jacob Ware @Jacob_A_Ware]

Possible stormclouds ahead: “They are laying the groundwork for another possible conflict. The terrorism framing is the rhetorical scaffolding for it.” @Jason_Blazakis @just_security https://t.co/GPOhgenDB0

[Jacob Ware @Jacob_A_Ware]

Great work by @Jason_Blazakis in @just_security, outlining the use of counterterrorism framing to justify war in #Cuba.

I would only add that taking a violent approach in Cuba—a country with long histories of both irregular warfare and state support—seems particularly foolish.
