Daniel Byman is a Director and Professor at the Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He is also a Senior Fellow at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies and a senior fellow at the Centre for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution. He is a world-leading scholar in research about terrorism, counterterrorism, and the Middle East. Since a couple of years, he focused his research on right-wing terrorism. His latest book The Global Rise of White Supremacists Terrorism is a sweeping and in-depth account of the history and evolution of the white supremacist movement. How has the white supremacist terrorism threat changed over time? What are their ideas? And how do they influence politics today?
