I received this as an ARC. It turned out not to be what I expected. I was hoping for more of a roadmap for individuals hoping to counter hate.

There is a scene in the movie, 'Patriot Games' where Jack Ryan is sifting through piles of intelligence reports on his desk, trying to piece together an IRA terrorist attack in London, in which Ryan kills one of the terrorists. In this scene, it is evident that many intelligence reports are needed to complete the puzzle. And finding the right facts to match other events and with the correct timing is much of what an analyst does.

That's how I felt reading 'Counter Hate'. The authors wrote the book in a way that made me feel as the reader that I was part of piecing together the 'terrorism puzzle' - an assisting analyst, so to speak, and some how helping in reducing the amount of hate in this world.

The book concentrates on hate from within the Islamic terrorist groups - which may have been by design, however, it would have helped to expand the issue to other hate groups - which there are plenty to pick from.

Although the authors should be commended on their efforts in putting together facts and possible solutions to solve the issues of hate, ultimately, there is only One that can solve hate between peoples. Only Divine intervention in man's affairs will totally eliminate hate.

This book helped me to widen my horizons with understanding hate and how it impacts so many aspects of our world. I have passed it on to some of my professors in my university's education department.

The authors look at how people learn to hate and offer some prescriptions on countering this development. They show how, through silence and apathy, society contributes to this process of looking at "other" people negatively through the lenses of gender, race, or religion, a process that develops during the formative years up to the age of about 25, and how the use of soft-power tools by governments rather than reliance on military responses is the best approach to dealing with the phenomenon.
