Book Reviews of The Confrontation: Winning the War against Future Jihad
Book Review: Overpriced
Summary: 1 Stars
Why is this book listed at $38.95 for Hardback, when the retail price anywhere else is $24.95? I want to but it, but there must be some mistake about the price. Is it a misprint?Book Review: Not worth the money
Summary: 1 Stars
This is a compilation of several books. Very unorganized and has few fatal mistakes of definitions that any elementary scholar would not do. I can now understand why the government did not get any thing right in the past 7 years, it has Phares as one of its advisors!Book Review: Wake up America! Wake up Western World!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Walid Phares does a brilliant job in The Confrontation of giving both historical lessons about the Jihadi movement, the Middle-East oil rich regimes and The West's view and reactions to both entities; as well as a blueprint on how to confront and beat our enemy in the future.
The Confrontation does an excellent job of balancing history with future endeavors. While some people want to simply look at the past and point to mistakes we have made in our struggle with Islamofascism they don't put forth plans on how to win other than we should leave Iraq. Other groups want to discuss how to address our future struggle without learning from the past. Mr. Phares does an excellent job of pointing out what he views to be mistakes in the past and then applies that knowledge to how America and the West should engage our enemy.
A common theme early in the book that I had not really considered is that The West needs to take a hard look at our academia programs which end up being feeder systems to the governments of The West. Mr. Phares discusses how many of the Middle-Eastern studies programs in North America and Europe are financed by countries such as Saudi Arabia and therefore it enables a conflict of interested on objectively looking at the Middle-East.
Anyone interested in further study on both how we got to where we're at regarding fighting the Jihadi movement and who wants to promote thought about how we as America as well as The West should proceed in the future would be well served by reading The Confrontation.
Book Review: This is a MUST Read for anyone concerned about Democracy and Freedom
Summary: 5 Stars
Walid Phares is a brilliant author, as well as speaker. This book addresses the issues that are so complex, facing the future of western civilization. Since 9/11 we have not fully grasped the intentions of the Islamist regimes making attempts, successfully I might add, into overtaking the west either through terrorism, financial jihad, and incitement. This book addresses the causes, the issues, and should be a part of every high school and college curriculum.
