Some have taken the fight abroad: an American was among those who planned the attacks in Mumbai, and more than eighty U.S. citizens have been charged with ISIS-related crimes. Others have acted on American soil, as with the attacks at Fort Hood, the Boston Marathon, and in San Bernardino. What motivates them, how are they trained, and what do we sacrifice in our efforts to track them? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Paced like a detective story, \u003ci\u003eUnited States of Jihad\u003c\/i\u003e tells the entwined stories of the key actors on the American front.
