United States of Jihad examines Americans who have embraced militant Islam both in the United States and abroad. Peter Bergen, CNN national security analyst, will offer an inside look at the controversial tactics of the agencies tracking potential terrorists—from infiltrating mosques to surveillance; at the bias experienced by Muslims at the hands of law enforcement; at the critics and defenders of U.S. policies on terrorism; and at how social media has revolutionized terrorism. A book signing will follow his appearance.
