Unconquerable Nation: Knowing Our Enemy, Strengthening Ourselves (ISBN 0833038931) is a book written by Brian Michael Jenkins, one of the world’s foremost authorities on terrorism and considered by many to be the father of terrorism research in the United States. Unconquerable Nation explores the most pressing questions about terrorism.

“In the name of total security, I am concerned that we are transforming the culture of the United States. Many people say that we’ve got to give up some freedom so we can have more security. Brian Michael Jenkins is here to tell you that freedom and security can go hand in hand. I applaud his message. It’s about time somebody stood up for what freedom really means.”
—James Gilmore, former Virginia governor and chairman of the Advisory Panel to Assess Domestic Response Capabilities for Terrorism Involving Weapons of Mass Destruction, also known as the Gilmore Commission
“Brian Michael Jenkins has produced a book that will have a real and constructive impact on thinking about the war on terrorism. No one is in a better position than the author to chronicle the evolution of this problem and to suggest appropriate strategies. He has my congratulations on writing an important book.”
—George P. Shultz, Distinguished Fellow, Hoover Institution; U.S. Secretary of State, 1982–1989
