===Books===

ISIS: The State of Terror (co-authored with J.M. Berger) (2015)
In a review, The Washington Post wrote that Stern and Berger's newest book "should be required reading for every politician and policymaker…Their smart, granular analysis is a bracing antidote to both facile dismissals and wild exaggerations….Stern and Berger offer a nuanced and readable account of the ideological and organizational origins of the group.”

Denial: A Memoir of Terror (2010)
In Denial: A Memoir of Terror, Stern, one of the world’s foremost experts on terrorism and post-traumatic stress disorder, investigates her own unsolved adolescent sexual assault at the hands of a serial rapist, and, in so doing, examines the horrors of trauma and denial.

A starred review from Publishers Weekly called Denial a “skillfully wrought, powerful study" in which "a terrorism expert, national security adviser, and lecturer at Harvard returns to a definitive episode of terror in her own early life and traces its grim, damaging ramifications… Stern’s work is a strong, clear-eyed, elucidating study of the profound reverberations of trauma.”

The Washington Post named Denial a best non-fiction book of 2010.

Terror in the Name of God (2004)
According to the review by Isabel Hilton in The New York Times, in Terror in the Name of God, Stern interviews "Christian, Jewish and Muslim extremists, violent anti-abortion warriors and admirers of Timothy McVeigh, and discovers how much they have in common. Nothing she finds leads the reader to suppose that any of the religious faiths is inherently more prone to violence than the other."

Terror in the Name of God was selected by The New York Times as a notable book of the year. The Times further praised the book, stating, "By talking over four years to hard-line haters around the globe, from Hamas to American Identity Christians to Jews who think the United States conspires against Israel, Stern finds many invincible convictions held by groups that differ chiefly in whom they think God loves the most."

The Ultimate Terrorists (2001)
The Ultimate Terrorists depicts a not-very-distant future in which both independent and state-sponsored terrorism using weapons of mass destruction could occur. In her book, Stern holds out hope for new technologies that might combat this trend, and for legal and political remedies that would improve public safety without compromising basic constitutional rights.

Former Secretary of Defense William Perry calls The Ultimate Terrorists "a timely book on a vitally important subject...Jessica Stern has done a thorough job of research and presents her arguments with clarity and force. This book should be a wake up call for Americans.”
