If the West unites and acts decisively, it can defeat terrorism. These are the conclusions of Terrorism: How the West Can Win, edited by Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. The book itself is an important event in the war against terrorism. It shatters the myth that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, laying out, with great clarity, the essential difference between terrorism and all other types of conflict. Lucidly, step by step, it refutes the comfortable (and often self~serving) assertions that terrorism must be "understood," that we must resign ourselves to it, that there is nothing to be done. Instead, Netanyahu and his contributors (who include Secretary of State George Shultz, Senators Moynihan, Cranston, and Laxalt, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Israeli Defense Minister Rabin, and commentators such as George Will, Paul Johnson, and Jean~Francois Revel) offer a comprehensive, reasoned analysis of terrorism as a phenomenon, a startling dissection of the West's weakness toward terrorism, and a practical, sober strategy for meeting terrorism's challenge. Terrorism: How the West Can Win is a polemic, a practical guide, and a considerable work of history. Although made up of a number of contributions, it is a single argument, one which is most brilliantly expressed in Ambassador Netanyahu' s opening and closing essays, which should stand as the definitive statements on how the West should think about terrorism and what to do about it. This book could change the course of the war against terrorism.
