Fear is the lifeblood of terrorism, and we all fear the unknown.\u00a0 So there’s no better counter to terror than simply spreading understanding.<\/p>\n

For the first time, an entire book on the history, origins, and future of terrorism is available for free online in an easy-to-navigate format<\/a>. Tremble the Devil<\/em> was written by a Harvard-educated counterterrorism analyst, it’s an accessible, fast-paced distillation of everything you need to know about the world’s most dangerous phenomenon. It\u00a0combines compelling narratives with approachable academic explanations into an intriguing and salient book that reads like a novel – it’s The Looming Tower<\/a> meets Freakonomics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Spreading understanding is so important because people only freak out when they don’t understand what’s going on, the true nature of the threat. And so terrorism only works when we don’t realize that terrorists as individuals are – often as not – pretty freaking dim. That’s why the book is\u00a0posted up online for free: in the hope that when the next attacks hit they’ll be a little less effective, because after reading the book you’ll understand terrorism a little bit better and freak out a little bit less.<\/p>\n

Feel free to bookmark this page to come back to later since you don’t have the time to get through an entire book just now and you’d rather read a brief piece about current events, the most recent posts can be found below at the blog below or on the sidebar to the right. Here are some of the most popular posts:<\/p>\n

\n

because we destroyed ourselves<\/a><\/strong> – outlines the damage the War on Drugs has done to the African-American community by incarcerating a highly disproportionate number of black males, creating a cycle of economic and social fragmentation within our innercities.<\/p>\n

innocents and innocence alike<\/strong><\/a> – draws parallels between acts of terrorism and asymmetric warfare by tying the emergence of modern terrorism to documents stolen from the home of America’s Special Forces.<\/p>\n

the racism instinct<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0– explains humanity’s bloodthirsty history as an inevitable result of the differing immunological compositions of our largest social groupings and the urge to pass on robust immune systems that are fit to their environments to our offspring.<\/p>\n

it’s hard out here<\/strong><\/a> – traditional publishing never worked, it was an industry ruled by chance and blind luck. It’s demise will be the best thing that’s ever happened to authors as the royalty system is rearranged and bureaucratic fat is removed from the system.<\/p>\n

the importance of being anonymous<\/strong><\/a> – free speech has always\u00a0implicitly been anonymous speech, and at no time in our history has it been more under siege – especially within the internet, the last bastion of free and anonymous speech<\/p>\n
