Books
Cohen is author of several books. His first, One Hundred Days of Silence: America and the Rwanda Genocide, was published in 2006 by Rowman & Littlefield and chronicles U.S. policy toward Rwanda during the 1994 Genocide. His second book, Children of Jihad: A Young American's Travels Among the Youth of the Middle East, was published by Penguin Books (Gotham) in October 2007 and has also been published as an audio book and translated into Dutch and Italian.
Cohen's third book is co-authored with Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, entitled The New Digital Age: Re-shaping the Future of People, Nations and Business. The book looks at our geopolitical future when 5 billion new people come online, and grew out of an article, The Digital Disruption, which was published in Foreign Affairs magazine in November 2010. It was notable for suggesting that technology would rewrite the relationship between states and their citizens in the 21st century, and was possibly prescient about the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt, that followed in 2011. Cohen and Schmidt also co-authored an article for the Washington Post, entitled "Technology Can Be Harnessed to Fight Drug Cartels in Mexico," which grew out of a trip the two took to Ciudad Juarez.
He is also author of three articles, "Iran's Passive Revolution: Is Political Resistance Dead or Alive in Iran?" (Hoover Digest), "Iran's Young Opposition: Youth in Post-Revolutionary Iran" (SAIS Review), and "Diverting the Radicalization Track" (Policy Review).

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Postmodernism is, almost by definition, a transitional cusp of social, cultural, economic and ideological history when modernism’s high-minded principles and preoccupations have ceased to function, but before they have been replaced with a totally new system of values. It represents a moment of suspension before the batteries are recharged for the new millennium, an acknowledgment that preceding the future is a strange and hybrid interregnum that might be called the last gasp of the past.”
—Gilbert Adair, British author, critic. Sunday Times: Books (London, April 21, 1991)
“With a few exceptions, the critics of children’s books are remarkably lenient souls.... Most of us assume there is something good in every child; the critics go from this to assume there is something good in every book written for a child. It is not a sound theory.”
—Katharine S. White (1892–1977)
“New eyes each year
Find old books here,
And new books, too,
Old eyes renew....”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
