Hughbank confronts one of the most urgent questions of our time: how ordinary individuals transform into homegrown terrorists. Drawing on decades of operational experience and scholarly research, Hughbank reveals that radicalization rarely begins with ideology-it begins with the fragile human need to belong.Through compelling case studies and behavioral analysis, the book explores how emotional vulnerability, social isolation, and persuasive extremist narratives gradually reshape identity and belief. Hughbank introduces his Fracture-to-Fusion Radicalization Model (FFRM), a framework explaining how grievance, identity crisis, and ideological immersion can lead individuals toward violent extremism.Dr. Hughbank brings a rare combination of battlefield experience and academic insight to the study of terrorism. A retired U.S. Army Military Police officer and combat veteran of the War on Terror with multiple combat deployments, he served with Task Force RAKKASAN, 3rd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2002, where he helped oversee the capture and processing of the first 650 al-Qaeda and Taliban detainees and coordinated the transfer of the initial 450 terrorist detainees to Guantanamo Bay.A counterinsurgency instructor and former university professor of homeland security and criminal justice, Hughbank holds degrees in Criminal Justice, Counseling, Terrorism Studies, and Homeland Security. He has authored dozens of scholarly articles, book chapters, and books on terrorism and national security, including \u003cem\u003eWhen the Moment Met Me: The Day ISIS Came to Garland, TX\u003c\/em\u003e, a firsthand account of the first ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in the United States.Blending psychology, sociology, and national security expertise, \u003cem\u003eThe Dynamics of Terror\u003c\/em\u003e offers more than an explanation of radicalized extremism-it provides a roadmap for understanding, prevention, and resilience in an increasingly complex world.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 22, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48874603315449,"sku":"9781968442996","price":31.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Of4m9kvzYO9781968442996.webp?v=1787326637","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/the-dynamics-of-terror-and-creation-of-homegrown-terrorists-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
