The De-Radicalization of Jihadists is an outstanding piece of work...Ashour manages to provide a highly detailed, very well-presented analysis of how and why several of the most important armed Islamist movements over the last 70 years have successfully sought to fundamentally alter their ideology, behaviour and structure and why this has been unattainable for others. - Chris Macmillan, International Affairs What Omar Ashour has produced is truly a pioneering work in an area of growing sociopolitical and geopolitical significance. - Saad Eddine Ibrahim, Harvard and American University in Cairo The book addresses a highly important yet little researched topic... It offers conceptualization, theory and original research... - Ami Pedahzur, University of Texas at Austin The book offers a detailed and well-presented analysis of deradicalisation processes involving several of the most important Islamist insurgent/terrorist movements today. The manuscript presents very important new insight into how and under which circumstances militant Islamist organizations may deradicalise and renounce political violence. Given the obvious policy-relevance of the analysis as well as its detailed and well-researched presentation of Islamist militancy in Egypt and Algeria, this manuscript will also be very useful in professional training for security /counterterrorism professionals as well as in graduate courses in Middle Eastern studies and graduate courses on international terrorism. The book is impressive. - Brynjar Lia, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment
