A never before in-depth look at the ideological science behind what motivates jihadists in their pursuits.
Strap in for an incredible first person ride with one of the very few 9/11 plank-holder FBI counterterrorism agents as he investigates, interrogates, and arrests the most extreme Jihadist fighters over a span of 20 years.
From his extensive experience in both the Middle East and Africa through disrupting terrorist cells on American soil, you will sit in the interview room with Al Qa'ida, ISIS, and Homegrown Violent Extremists, where you will now fully understand why they walk down this
path of carnage.
Against the desires of global terrorists, Mr. Barker now pulls back the veil to reveal the truth about radicalization, the specific components of propaganda, and the historic ideologies that prompt fence sitters to get on a plane to do their part for Jihad.
Considered by former colleagues as the one "that wrote the book on FBI counterterrorism operations", Mr. Barker explains in almost textbook format the why behind the exponential uptick in Jihadist attacks and plots globally.
He further provides a never before seen projection of what Jihad will look like into the next five or ten years, followed by his unsolicited formula as to how to prevent the darkness that lies ahead.
Mr. Barker spent 21 years as an FBI agent with the majority of his career investigating and supervising counterterrorism and
informant operations.
With extensive experience working in the Middle East and Africa, attendance at six FBI sponsored immersion Arabic language schools, and two years embedded as senior FBI advisor to DOD's Special Operations Command (SOCOM), he became a nationally known expert in terrorism matters.
Mr. Barker also spent two years as an interrogation instructor at the heralded FBI Academy, and completed his Masters degree focused on the ideological and linguistic indicators of Jihad.
Extensively published in law enforcement and national security journals, he has been viewed by many as one that has unlocked the code behind what makes terrorists tick.
Prior to the FBI, Mr. Barker spent five years as a Ranger and Jumpmaster qualified U.S. Army officer serving in a forward deployed unit as part of the 82nd Airborne Division.
In this billet he served as platoon leader and company executive officer in both garrison and combat environments.
