Summary

The storm gathers as we sleep. Despite vast amounts of blood and treasure expended since 9-11-2001, America and her allies are losing the war against violent Islamist extremists. For the first time since the War on Terror began, Green Beret Scott Mann, an original architect and implementer of the Village Stability methodology, reveals an immediately useful strategic framework to defeat ISIS, al Qa'ida, and even criminal elements here at home. This isn't theory. Started by Green Berets in the central highlands of Vietnam and mastered in the dusty villages of Afghanistan, this program holds the key to defeating Islamist violent extremists. Packed with high-impact information from over 5,000 interviews of stability and counter-extremist players, Game Changers isn't just for the military. This book offers strategic solutions to security forces, stability professionals, law enforcement, and even corporate sector leaders. This is more than a book. It is a movement. Thsi movement requires leaders and practitioners from all relevant disciplines and organizations to get serious about what it takes to defeat this enemy. We must re-assess our reality of the situation and get past the paradigm of our Western way-of-war. If we're going to win against violent extremists, it's time to go local or go home!
