Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

This deeply researched, wide ranging, and very timely study provides a compelling and often surprising account of what lies behind the jihadi phenomenon . . . . It should be read carefully, and pondered. (Noam Chomsky)

Talking to the Enemy is an important book, by turns fascinating, dense, scientific, debatable, illuminating. (David Aaronovitch The Times)

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, author of The Black Swan)

Reseña del editor:

Scott Atran has spent years talking to terrorists - from Gaza and Afghanistan, to Indonesia and Europe. Here he argues persuasively that to understand religious violence we need to consider terrorists' close relationships, with family and friends, as much as the causes they espouse. He delivers a fascinating journey into the mindsets of radicalised people in the twenty-first century, and deep insights into the history of all religions.
