Instructions

In Unit II, you created a research paper outline on the recruitment and radicalization process of lone wolf terrorists in the domestic United States and abroad. You had your specific terrorist incident and topic approved by your instructor. Later, in Unit VII, you will be asked to submit your final research paper. For this assignment, you will write an annotated bibliography to further prepare you for your research paper. 

Identify six scholarly sources from the CSU Online Library and other reliable sources that support your research paper topic and paper. Include a summary (150–200 words) for each reference that will cover the material related to the research paper criteria. As you locate your sources, consider how you will use them in your research paper. 

The annotated bibliography identifies the reference, description, and how it pertains to the research paper. Also, in your annotated bibliography, you should provide a brief description that explains why you believe the selected incident will serve as a good basis for evaluating the recruitment and radicalization process for terrorists as it relates to domestic and international terrorism.
