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).
