The Book of Terrorism - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Reuben Vaisman-Tzachor was born on August 10, 1958 in Gazit, Israel. In 1977 he began his mandatory military, and he served in the Israeli Navy for about six years. He graduated from the Naval Officers Academy in Haifa and became a Navy officer. There he excelled in his duties and was promoted to Naval Patrol Ship Commander before his twenty-second birthday. Vaisman-Tzachor graduated with a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Pomona College and holds both a Masters and a PhD in Clinical Psychology from California School of Professional Psychology. During his time in school he served as a supervisor in the Israeli government's terrorism prevention operations in the Western US region. In 2001 he was called to assist in the development of a national counter-terrorism strategy for the Bush administration. His work on the psychology of terrorists was subsequently adopted by the FBI Academy for its formal curriculum. His professional work is widely viewed as original, innovative, and cutting-edge in the areas of terrorist profiling and immigration evaluations. In recognition of his many professional contributions he earned a fellow status at the American College of Forensic Examiners Institute, a fellow status with the American Psychotherapy Association, a diplomat status with the American Board of Psychology Specialties, and a third level certification in homeland security. This is his first foray into literary writing in English and is his second novel after his as yet unpublished Hebrew novel On Betrayal.
