Confrontation: Winning the War Against Future Jihad

"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." --NewsMax

"The Confrontation, along with other books in the series, is a useful riposte to the "apologist" doctrine. . .Phares presents an ambitious plan, but it only matches the aspirations of the adversaries the civilized world faces." --Washington Times

"Phares . . . is a voice of calm and reason. . . . Provocative reading." --Kirkus Reviews on The War of Ideas

"Phares . . . is a voice of calm and reason. . . . Provocative reading." --Kirkus Reviews
