This book delves into the phenomenon of extremism, analyzing why extremists resort to violence and the rational motivations behind their actions. By examining episodes such as the French Revolution, Yugoslav nationalism under Milosevic, and the emergence of suicide terrorism and Al Qaeda, the author explains how rational choices lead to violent tactics. The analysis also emphasizes strategies for counterterrorism and fostering rehabilitation.
