The Confrontation Winning the War against Future Jihad [Paperback]

As the global Jihadist movement grows more complex, the escalating threat to international security demands a clear vision for winning the battle against fundamentalist Islamic violence. Walid Phares's previous books,Future JihadandThe War of Ideas, traced the forces that led to September 11 and the rise of radical Islam and examined the conflicting ideologies that underlie the War on Terror. Now, inThe Confrontation, Phares provides global solutions for defeating the forces of jihad and identifies the upcoming battles in the vast world of the Jihadist movement, from the ravaged villages of the Sudan to London's Muslim neighborhoods to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. Pointing towards a future that is safe for freedom and democratic societies, this book shows how the world's diverse institutions can come together to defeat the forces of jihad worldwide.

Walid Phares has been a tremendous help to all of us--legislators and all Americans--in understanding the global confrontation with Jihadism. He is rendering a valuable service to the free world with his work. Rep. Sue Myrick, Chairwoman, Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus, US House of Representatives

Walid Phares has written a trilogy of books that collectively provide a set of intellectual armor for civilized societies engaged in the War against Islamic Terrorism. He has, in short, fortified liberal democratic resolve. Joseph Morrison Skelly, Ph.D, Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa

In order to engage in a strategic 'redefinition of the war,' Phares thoughtfully argues that there must be a 'Western rethinking' of the conflict ... he concludes that the United States, other democracies, and their potential allies across the world and within the Muslim world can win the confrontation.
