Synopsis

From MSNBC terrorism expert Walid Phares, this is a frightening look into the future of jihad. Though an alarming new picture of what we can expect from terrorists in the future, Walid Phares reveals how the United States can win the war. Phares, who served as an expert with the Justice Department, briefed the Defense and State Departments, and testifies to Congress, shows that there has been a fundamental misunderstanding about al Qaeda's ultimate goal in the West and what victory means to jihadists. He answers such critical questions as: How long will this war last? Is the United States secure on the inside? Future Jihad shows how our defenses have been infiltrated; identifies the future generation of homegrown terrorists; and points the way for America to win the ideological war at the heart of jihad.

Review:

“[A] lucid exposition of how jihadism filled the vacuum created by the collapse of the caliphate after World War I.” ―Fred Siegel in The New York Sun

“Remarkable . . . [Phares has] spent his life study­ing the jihad movement. He distilled that lifetime of experience and study into his book.” ―HSToday
