WACMB August 2025 Dinner Lecture
Tuesday, August 26, 2025
Overview
Some view the costly and long wars with Islamic terrorists around the globe as a mistaken distraction. However, many observers believe the ability of violent non-state actors to execute attacks like 9-11 is only increasing. Dr. Whiteside draws on his latest book released this month, Non-state Special Operations: Capabilities and Effects, to explore how violent non-state actors continue to pose a challenge to global stability.
