This groundbreaking book takes the reader to a different level of understanding the terrorist psyche as it explores the darkness of Islamic suicide terrorism and its global implications through the first-person lens of a psychoanalyst turned counter-terrorist expert. What informs this innovative psychological anthropologic study is the author's deepening awareness that within the highly popular field of terrorism studies, as well as journalistic writings on the subject, there has been little serious discussion concerning early childhood development and the terrors of the terrorist. Nor has there been much discussion of how terrorists infiltrate, interact, and engage their global targets, be they professional or lay. This book maps out the interlocking links that extend from domestic violence and intimate terrorism to domestic and global terrorism, including jihad. In this pioneering work, Dr. Kobrin distills her years of living in environments of domestic and intimate terror and her psychoanalytical and anti-terrorist expertise as she explores the interacting dynamics underlying the sadomasochistic/masochistic seduction of suicide bombings.

Dr. Kobrin was contacted after 9/11 by the U.S. Army concerning the relationship between the devalued female in Arab-Muslim culture and the suicide attack. Her work has been used extensively by the military. She published her first book The Banality of Suicide Terrorism in 2010 which has also been translated into Hebrew. Dr. Kobrin is a graduate of the Human Terrain Program, Leavenworth Kansas. She has lectured military and law enforcement in the U.S., Madrid, Sri Lanka, Israel and NATO. She conducted prison interviews in Minneapolis in 2005-2006 and predicted at Rand Santa Monica that there would be problems coming from the Somali community due to failure to integrate into American society. The first American Somali suicide bomber detonated in Puntland five months later. She immigrated to Israel in 2010 where she lives with her partner, Professor Yitzhak Reiter, Israel's leading authority on the Arab minority. She has six grandchildren.
