The Alphabet Bomber: A Lone Wolf Terrorist Ahead of his time by Jeffrey D. Simon

In this exciting book, distinguished terrorism and security scholar Jeffrey D. Simon, PhD expertly recounts the fascinating historical account of the manhunt and analysis toward the lone wolf terrorist Muharem Kurbegovic. 

Simon paints the narrative by introducing Kurbegovic from childhood and masterfully produces a compelling examination of this terrorist phenomenon which has become all too familiar in today’s world.
Simon takes the reader through historical keypoints and comparisons of the 1960’s.

The Summer of 1974 is brought to life and reconstructed with the complexities of a disturbed mind driving above average intellect of a Yugoslav immigrant initially believed to actually be a large group called the “”Aliens of America.” Each recorded maneuver and intent is articulately laid upon the reader for full effect. 

By the final chapter, the reader is experienced in the events with crystal detail and treated to the broader picture with lessons learned from the press, society, clues, and actionable intelligence.
