Michael Bayer is a former chief of the Department of State’s (DOS)

tion of how the United States can engage international partners more e ec-
tively to address worldwide manifestations of destabilizing violence, o en
indiscriminately labeled “terrorism.”
Bayer researched and wrote this book while participating in the
Research Fellows Program under the Center for Strategic Intelligence Research
(CSIR) at the National Defense Intelligence College (NDIC), Washington, DC.
He received much support and assistance from two CSIR editors, Dr. William
Spracher and Dr. Russell Swenson.
