“A terrorist is not hatched overnight. A person, radical or not, is a sum of many parts, made up of their cultural background, influences and experiences.”

In the world of counter terrorism, Patrick T. Dunleavy has long been noted as one of the leading experts. Having observed and studied prison radicalization throughout his career as the Deputy Inspector General of New York, Patrick has the advantage of knowledge that comes from firsthand experience.

With his newly-released first book, The Fertile Soil of Jihad, Patrick continues to pursue his desire to educate people – both professionals and citizens – on the intricacies and realities of Islamic radicalization.

"Patrick Dunleavy's important new book offers glimpses of the determined efforts... that combat prison recruitment."
