Reviews
Ethan Bronner The New York Times Book Review Emerson is an investigator who has performed a genuine service...His information should be taken seriously.
Jeff Jacoby The Boston Globe The indispensable guide to American Muslim extremists and their ties to international terrorism.
Richmond Times-Dispatch The book is thorough and audacious -- and sobering. American Jihad belongs on the required reading list.
Oliver Revell Former FBI Assistant Director in Charge of Counterterrorism It may be that Mr. Emerson is actually better informed in some areas than the responsible agencies of government.
Melissa Radler The Jerusalem Post It is hard to think of anyone who has done more extensive research in the area. The things that worry Emerson should worry America at large.
