Anthony J. Dennis is a lawyer, human rights activist and independent scholar living in the United States. An acknowledged expert on Islamic affairs and widely published author on legal and foreign policy topics, he has appeared as a guest on over one hundred syndicated talk radio and nationally televised programs in the United States.
Profiled in the national media after 9/11, he is credited with predicting a 9/11 style terrorist attack and with warning Americans of the deadly threat posed by Islamic fundamentalism as far back as the early 1990s. His first book, "The Rise of the Islamic Empire and the Threat to the West", was published in April, 1996 and was re-issued with a new Foreword months after the 9/11 attacks in the face of skyrocketing public demand worldwide for the book.
A leader in the burgeoning field of psychobiography, Mr. Dennis was chosen by editors at Oxford University Press to pen a psychological profile of Osama Bin Laden which became a book chapter in the influential textbook "The Handbook of Psychobiography" published by Oxford University Press in 2005.
Mr. Dennis's books have been purchased and used by several defense, intelligence and military agencies to train their personnel, and he continues to be an influential voice on the topics on which he has written.
