If I may humbly propose a stocking stuffer: God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America is available in hardback, paperback, Kindle, audiobook, Japanese, and now Spanish. A book about hate and violence that sadly remains all-too-relevant today. www.amazon.com/God-Guns-Sed...

Exciting news: GOD, GUNS, and SEDITION is out today in paperback! My @cfr.org and @columbiaup.bsky.social book, co-authored with @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social, tells the story of far-right terrorism in America and beyond—a topic that sadly remains as relevant as ever. bookshop.org/p/books/god-...

Very cool to be profiled in @thehoya.bsky.social, alongside @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social, regarding the Airey Neave Book Prize. If you have not read it: "Our book tells a story of forces within our country that seek to divide us, that seek to undermine our democracy." thehoya.com/news/gu-prof...

Two books everyone should read if you haven’t are Autocracy Inc by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social and👇 God Guns and Sedition by Bruce Hoffman. Hoffman is such an expert on this subject I was taught off one of his books in college.

The Assad regime’s collapse disables a critical node in Iran’s regional proxy network, writes @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social.

Unparalleled analysis, as always, by the great @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social for @cfr.org. www.cfr.org/expert-brief...

My brief thoughts on the events of the past 72 hours regarding Syria, HTS, Hezbollah, Iran, & Lebanon all in one place thanks to @CFR_org. www.cfr.org/expert-brief...

Two constants in the Middle East: Kurdish suffering and indifference to their plight--as well as to the Armenians. The world also said nothing when Nagorno-Karabakh was ethnically cleansed last year. Colonialism lives--but when it's not Western, few care.

@henmazzig.bsky.social reporting on X that the body of Chabad emissary Rabbi Zvi Kogan has been discovered by authorities in the UAE.

Both Israelis and Palestinians deserve safety, freedom, and dignity. That’s not hate speech. Opposing any part of this sentence is.

For the latest episode of my National Security Insitute podcast, “Coffee & Conflict”, I welcomed @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social & @jacobware.bsky.social to discuss “God, Guns, & Sedition” (@columbiaup.bsky.social) & the origin & future of far-right terrorism in America. open.spotify.com/episode/4R1Q...

I was fortunate today to be able to meet a great American, who is also one of my heroes, and is an outstanding member of the U.S. House of Representatives, who was just elected to his 3rd term ... the tremendously impressive @ritchietorres.bsky.social

"Is the United States on the Verge of Civil War?" In The Cipher Brief, @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social and I insist the answer is no, but the question is no longer frivolous. #Election2024 is certain to inspire some degree of violence in our country. @cfr.org www.thecipherbrief.com/column_artic...

“Of course, many of the conspiracy theories that support far-right terrorist mobilization today are deeply entrenched, and it might take generations to unwind them.” My contribution to War on the Rocks's Rewind and Reconnoiter with @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social. warontherocks.com/2024/08/rewi...

#1 on amazon for audio books is what all authors long to see. Just released last month and read by a professional actor (not @JacobWare) or me!

Alas, as our essay in @foreignpolicy from last Friday argues, the threat of violence as the presidential election nears, now comes from both political extremes.

It is a measure of the divisiveness and tolerance for violence in the United States that the possibility of civil war looms so large over the 2024 presidential election—no matter which candidate wins. @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2024/06/28/c...

Looking forward to expanding on this analysis with other findings from our book on Tuesday, in conversation with Joana Cook and @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social in an ICCT - The Hague live briefing! www.icct.nl/event/icct-l...

So grateful to Angela King and Life After Hate for the kind review of God, Guns, and Sedition, "one of the most comprehensive, succinctly told accounts of violent far-right extremism spanning the past four decades." @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social @cfr.org www.lifeafterhate.org/blog/2024/2/...

Fascinating discussion last night at the U.S. National Archives about U.S. hostage policy with Special Presidential Envoy for Hostage Affairs Roger Carsten & myself that was moderated by the inimitable Robin Wright & is now on tinyurl.com/3r2em987

I greatly enjoyed joining @katherinepomps.bsky.social on the @lawfare.bsky.social podcast. With @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social, we discuss the historical trajectory of far-right extremism, the threat of far-right terrorism heading into the 2024 election, and more. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/the-...

Such an honor to join Peter Bergen on his brilliant In The Room podcast, discussing "Why America’s Biggest Terror Threat Is Homegrown." @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social www.audible.com/pd/Episode-4...

Delighted to see my book with Jacob Ware, God, Guns & Sedition cited (and me quoted) as lead story on front page of today's Washington Post. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

It was also a tremendous honor for me to join two legends of the terrorism studies field, @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social and Peter Bergen, at a virtual launch event at New America. www.newamerica.org/future-secur...

Given my past work with CSIS, it was a special honor to return and join Seth Jones and @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social to discuss our book and the broader far-right terrorist landscape. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT3B...

Among the more concerning developments traced in God, Guns, and Sedition is the growing threat of internecine and fratricidal assassinations within the right-wing itself. In the LA Times, @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social and I traced this dangerous new trend. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...

We’ve also been fortunate to contribute to several podcasts. @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social and I enjoyed chatting with James Lindsay on @cfr.org's exceptional The President's Inbox, discussing far-right terrorism. www.cfr.org/podcasts/far...

It has now been a month since the release of my co-authored @cfr.org book, God, Guns, and Sedition: Far-Right Terrorism in America. @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social and I have been hard at work sharing our findings through events, podcasts, and articles. 🧵 cup.columbia.edu/book/god-gun...

Look what just arrived! Looking forward to diving into this most timely of books. @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social @jacobware.bsky.social

How Far-Right Terrorists Learned to Stop Worrying and Leave the Bomb, by @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social & @jacobware.bsky.social warontherocks.com/2024/01/how-...

A much anticipated read this weekend by @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social and @jacobware.bsky.social Actually borrowed it from my son's Christmas pile. At this time he is deep into Alexander Mikaberidze's The Napoleonic Wars.

Hot off the press alert! Order your copy of @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social & @jacobware.bsky.social’s GOD, GUNS, and SEDITION and read what Lawrence Wright calls “an essential volume for understanding the dark side of the American dream.” Link: cup.columbia.edu/book/god-gun...

“It is a sad commentary about emotional responses, vituperation, closed minds, and the collective failure of professors and administrators alike for allowing this climate to emerge and lay waste to the free and open exchange of ideas…” By @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social time.com/6516866/terr...

Absolutely thrilled to see our beautiful new book page on the @cfr.org website—a sign that the big day (January 2) is getting closer! @hoffmanbruce.bsky.social @caelyncobb.bsky.social www.cfr.org/book/god-gun...

Mostly neglected this past week is whether ISIS was involved in the attacks? Flag left at Sufa suggests this & ISIS in Sinai certainly has motive & geographic access. May also suggest why US Navy is parked offshore near Gaza. tinyurl.com/5ef3cwn4
