| Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
In this innovative and concise work, Israeli politician Benjamin Netanyahu offers a compelling approach to understanding and fighting the increase in domestic and international terrorism throughout the world. Citing diverse examples from around the globe, Netanyahu demonstrates that domestic terrorist groups are usually no match for an advanced technological society which can successfully roll back terror without any significant curtailment of civil liberties. But Netanyahu sees an even more potent threat from the new international terrorism which is increasingly the product of Islamic militants, who draw their inspiration and directives from Iran and its growing cadre of satellite states. The spread of fundamentalist Islamic terrorism, coupled with the possibility that Iran will acquire nuclear weapons, poses a more frightening threat from an adversary less rational and therefore less controllable than was Soviet Communism. How democracies can defend themselves against this new threat concludes this provocative book.

• A Must Read For Every Lover Of Freedom 16 February, 2007
Bibi, gives a sober assesment of the situation of Israel and the surrounding area.
He starts with a review of the history of the founding of his country going back to the 19th Century.
His writng style is fresh and clear with a superb command of English. He is a graduate of MIT so his use of our language makes easy reading.
Although the book was written several years ago, the information is as current as today's news.

• If Only Our Government Had Listened... 09 October, 2006
This book first came out in the mid-1990s. If only the U.S. government had listened to the Israelis and the author, who increasingly had warned the U.S., or tried to, of the growing jihadist threat, not just around the world, but also inside the U.S (the Israelis had known of Islamic terrorists in places like Oklahoma city, etc. in the 1990s). At one point in this book, the author states that the threat is growing and "it is only a matter of time before they strike the United States, from within". Very true, unfortunately. This book costs less than $ 20, and yet, the CIA could have learned more from it than the billions they spend every year "monitoring" terrorists.
I think the author also does a good job in explaining that it is not Islam per se that is the enemy, but the jihadists (Wahhabis, etc.). He also is able to put himself into the shoes of the Arabs and see how they view the world, which of course is very helpful. He does this from a position not of hatred or conflict, but just from a position of knowledge, and wanting to know.

• Hmm... 02 April, 2007
Interesting how Netanyahu already had "terrorism" on his mind even before his Zionist buddies from the PNAC think tank were writing that the militaristic foreign policy they wanted to pursue in the Middle East would not be possible without "a catalyzing event like a new pearl harbor.) Man did that prediction come true! What insight these Zionist warmongers have! Oh and don't worry about the 5 Mossad operatives who were caught high-fiving each other while filming 9/11 as it happened who were dressed as Arabs, failed a lie detector & whose van tested positive for bombs. And nevermind the fact that Netanyahu said that it would be "very good for Israel" immediately after 9/11. (This is sarcasm, you should be concerned about this and look into all of it and more.) The towers were brought down with explosives. Read this book only to know your enemy, these guys had a plan for us and we're in the midst of it today. It's leading us to destruction and the victimization needs to end. Our government listed to Netanyahu & his friends alright, in fact they listened all too well.

Another piece of trash, good to line bird cages with. What about the terrorism practised against the Palestinian people? I call that ethnic cleansing. Do not waste your money.

• Timeless Information 12 July, 2008
This book was first published in 1995. If we had implemented the hard learned lessons in this book then, thousands of Americans would be alive today. However, the lessons are timeless thus making it never too late to learn.
