CIVIL
UNREST IN AMERICA: IS 2024 A REPEAT OF 1968?
By Bob O’Brien, Jim Weiss, and Mickey Davis
“Not since 1968—a tumultuous year marked by assassinations,
division and widespread rioting—has the threat of political
violence loomed as large as it does today.”
Brian Michael Jenkins
For those who have studied terrorism and counter-terrorism for
any length of time, Brian Jenkins (quoted above) needs no introduction.
He has been called by some “a leading Terror-ologist.”
Highlights from his decades-long bio will shed some light on his
importance as an authority on terrorism and counter-terrorism spanning
the decades from the 1960’s to the present time. During that
time, he was with the U.S. Army Special Forces—Dominican Republic,
Vietnam War—and one of the earliest in academia to take the
topic of Terrorism seriously. His expertise in that area led to the
start of the Rand Corporation’s Terrorism Research Program,
and he was advisor to several US presidential administrations as
well as government agencies.
