Description: "As the global jihadist movement grows more complex, the escalating threat to international security demands a clear vision for winning the War on Terror. In Future Jihad, Middle East expert and FOX News terrorism analyst Walid Phares gave a definitive account of the historical and cultural forces that led to September 11 and the rise of Jihadi terror. In The War of Ideas, he revealed the conflict of ideologies that underlies the War on Terror. Now, in The Confrontation, he provides an illuminating overview of the global clashes to come and a blueprint for defeating the forces of Jihad. Offering worldwide strategies for defusing the potential powder-kegs of terrorism - from wartime Iraq, to Hezbollah-dominated Lebanon, to the new Taliban, to the Iranian regime and its influence in the region - and pre-empting the fatal rise of the movement inside the free world, Phares calls on the world's local and international institutions to come together and coordinate their efforts. Pointing the way forward, this strategic book shows how we might reclaim a world that is safe for freedom and democratic societies."--Jacket.
