    The accidental guerrilla : fighting small wars in the midst of a big one.
    Kilcullen, David.Oxford ; New York : Oxford University Press, 2009.
    Kilcullen, adviser on counterinsurgency to General Petraeus, defines accidental guerrillas as locals fighting primarily because outsiders (often Westerners) are intruding into their physical and cultural space, but they may also be galvanized by high-tech, internationally oriented ideologues. This interaction of two kinds of nonstate opponents renders both traditional counterterrorism and counterinsurgency inadequate. Kilcullen uses Afghanistan and Iraq as primary case studies for a new kind of war that relies on an ability to provoke Western powers into protracted, exhausting, expensive interventions.

    Iraq's Sunni insurgency
    Hashim, Ahmed.Abingdon, U.K. : Routledge for the International Institute for Strategic Studies, 2009. From 2003 to 2008, the Sunni Arab insurgency in Iraq posed a key challenge to political stability in the country and to Coalition objectives there. This paper explains the onset, composition and evolution of this insurgency. It begins by addressing both its immediate and deeper sociopolitical origins, and goes on to examine the multiple ideological strands within the insurgency and their often conflicting methods and goals.

    Insurgency, terrorism, and crime : shadows from the past and portents for the future.
    Manwaring, Max G.  Norman : University of Oklahoma Press, c2008.
    Drawing lessons for U.S. and global security from seven case studies of "asymmetric wars," Manwaring (military strategy, U.S. Army War College) analyzes the changing nature of war. He describes the mission, political-historical context, organizational stages, strategic characteristics, and implications of insurgency groups including Al Qaeda, the Bolivian Liberation Front, the Uruguayan Tupamaros, and transnational criminal gangs. To counter such groups, he prescribes a paradigm change calling for a unified civil-military approach and transformation of the armed forces. Edwin G. Corr, who served as U.S. ambassador to several Latin-American nations, introduces and summarizes the book-- which builds on Manwaring's ideas in Gray Area Phenomena: Confronting the New World Disorder (1993).

    Fighting the war of ideas like a real war : messages to defeat the terrorists.
    Waller, J. Michael.  Washington, DC : Institute of World Politics Press, 2007. An innovative re-examination of how the US and its allies should fight the battle of ideas. This book focuses on message strategies that the US should pursue for the immediate term to win the war against Islamist extremism. The author is a professor at The Institute of World Politics in Washington, DC, who directs a graduate program on public diplomacy and political warfare. His students include officials from the Defense Department, State Department, CIA, FBI, DIA, and other agencies.

    The U.S. Army/Marine Corps counterinsurgency field manual : U.S. Army field manual no. 3-24 : Marine Corps warfighting publication no. 3-33.5
    United States. Dept. of the Army.  Chicago : University of Chicago Press, 2007.
    In 1943, as part of its global World War II deployments, the United States stationed troops in Iraq. The brief handbook issued then, and now offered in facsimile, shows the army apprising troops of what to expect in Iraq and sketches its ethnic and religious makeup. Its primary purpose was to foster caution in interacting with a complex society with which Americans were unfamiliar. Sixty years later, the U.S. Army returned to Iraq, this time to defeat the Iraqi armed forces and assist in installing a new regime. The defeat of the Iraqi forces was quick and thorough, but the creation of a new political order was not. Faced with an insurgency in the wake of the conventional campaign, the United States floundered, hoping that it could translate its conventional superiority into success against an enemy that fought an unconventional war. The new Counterinsurgency Field Manual attempts to offer a formula for success. Its basis is that counterinsurgency warfare is a political struggle that has a military component, rather than a strictly military campaign. Counterinsurgency war is a struggle for legitimacy; the host government and its American allies must provide security and at least basic services in order to earn the population's confidence. The insurgents need merely to undermine the government by whatever means they can. The currently operative manual explains that American service personnel must be able quickly and precisely to calibrate their actions to a given situation. Ironically, our armed forces today find themselves needing the type of cultural sensitivity that was considered an obvious ingredient for success in 1943. It is likely that the new field manual will be in use for some time, and that the World War II instructions will often be cited as a comparison to it.

    Countering terrorism and insurgency in the 21st century : international perspectives
    Forest, James J. F.  Westport, Conn. : Praeger Security International, 2007
    This three-volume collection edited by Forest (director, Terrorism Studies, United States Military Academy, West Point; editor, Teaching Terror: Strategic and Tactical Learning in the Terrorist World) gathers together dozens of experts, military and academic, on the topic of global terrorism. Forest has written a preface and introduction to each volume. In effect, contributors' essays answer such questions from Forest as "What do we know about effectively countering terrorism?", "What are the characteristics of successful or unsuccessful counterterrorism campaigns?", and "What do we need to learn in order to better handle this threat?" Forest notes that terrorism has been around for hundreds of years and that the ability of terrorists to adapt to the changing international environment, use technology, and maintain lines of communication helps them remain viable. He recognizes that no single method will be successful in eradicating terrorism but advocates that nations themselves adapt by using not just greater technology but greater international communication and cooperation.

    Against All Enemies: Inside America's War of Terror.  
    Richard A. Clarke. New York: Free Press, 2004. 304p.
    Clarke, advisor to presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Clinton, and George W. Bush, dissects each man's approach to terrorism. The book begins with the Reagan administration, who failed to retaliate against the 1982 Beirut bombings, fueling the perception around the world that the US was vulnerable to such attacks. Terrorism becomes a growing but largely ignored threat under the first President Bush, whom Clarke cites for his failure to eliminate Saddam Hussein, thereby necessitating a continued American presence in Saudi Arabia that further inflamed anti-American sentiment. Clinton, according to Clarke, understood the gravity of the situation and became increasingly obsessed with stopping Al-Qaeda. He had developed workable plans but was hamstrung by political infighting and the sex scandal that led to his impeachment. But George W. Bush and his advisers, Clarke says, didn't get it before 9/11 and they didn't get it after, failing to take terrorism and Al-Qaeda seriously.

    Al-Qaeda : Casting a Shadow of Terror.  
    Jason Burke. London ; New York : I.B. Tauris, 2003.
    292p.
    Award-winning reporter Jason Burke shows how the threat from Islamic terrorism comes not from a single criminal mastermind, or even from one group. In this revealing account, he characterizes it is a broad movement with profound roots in the politics, societies and history of the Islamic world. Using hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents, Burke shows how "Al-Qaeda" is a convenient label applied misleadingly to a diverse, disorganized global movement dedicated to fighting a "cosmic battle" with the West. This is the definitive account of the mysterious organization, retelling its story from scratch and challenging many myths that threaten the very foundations of the "War on Terror."

    Allah's Torch.  
    Tracy Dahlby. New York : William Morrow, c2005.
    307p.
    One night in 2000, veteran journalist Tracy Dahlby blundered on board an Indonesian passenger ship carrying six hundred Islamic warriors on an anti-Christian holy war. Once a fabled destination for European merchants, the Spice Islands had become the bull's-eye for jihadis looking to transport their destructive passions into a sprawling, porous, virtually lawless region. In October 2003, similar passions hit the resort island of Bali, where nightclub bombings killed 202 people, mainly foreign tourists. An exhilarating reporting adventure, Allah's Torch illuminates an exotic corner of the globe, revealing both its inescapable charms and pockets of Islamic rage that, as the repeat attack on Bali in late 2005 chillingly illustrates, pose an ongoing threat to global stability and America's vital interests.

    Alms for Jihad.  
    J. Millard Burr and Robert O. Collins. Cambridge ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2006.
    348p.
    The authors of this book examine the charities involved, their financial intermediaries, and the terrorist organizations themselves. What they discover is that money from these charities has funded conflicts across the world, from the early days in Afghanistan when the mujahideen (Muslim warriors) fought the Soviets, to subsequent terrorist activities in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, Africa, Palestine, and, most recently, in Europe and the United States. This ground-breaking book is the first to piece together, from a vast array of sources, the secret and complex financial systems that support terror.

    American Jihad: the Terrorists Living Among Us.
    New York: Free Press, c2003. 285p.
    A self-made expert on Islamic terrorism. For more than 10 years, Emerson has studied groups that operate in the U.S. for the express purpose of funding and managing deadly organizations. Emerson shows how the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas has grown an extensive network in the United States, how the group Islamic Jihad set up shop at the University of South Florida, and how an Islamic center in Tucson helped recruit two of Osama bin Laden's top deputies. He also provides circumstantial evidence that bin Laden himself once applied for an American visa--"even the possibility is tantalizing, and chilling," he concludes.

    American Unbound: The Bush Revolution in Foreign Policy.
    Ivo H. Daalder & James M. Lindsay. Washington, D.C. : Brookings Institution, c2003.
    264p.
    Hailing President George W. Bush as the architect of a radical new foreign policy, the authors are clearly impressed with America's recent display of muscle. They do not, however, acknowledge critics who claim the Bush revolution may merely be a recycling of failed doctrines of colonialism and interventionism. Still, though most contemporary analysts credit the president's advisors with designing current foreign-policy practices, Daalder and Lindsay insist that Bush himself is in charge. If we have become a lone-wolf nation, it is because of his belief that an unfettered and aggressive America is both secure and capable of altering the international status quo for the better. After outlining the nuances of this new nationalist strategy, its challenges, rewards, and risks are analyzed in detail, providing foreign-policy wonks with plenty of material for debate.

    Aptitude for Destruction.
    Volume 1: Organizational Learning in Terrorists Groups and Its Implications for Combating Terrorism.

    Brian A. Jackson. Santa Monica, CA: RAND, 2005. 84p.
    Better ways are needed to understand how terrorist groups become more effective and dangerous. Learning is the link between what a group wants to do and its ability to actually do it; therefore, a better understanding of group learning might contribute to the design of better measures for combating terrorism. This study analyzes current understanding of group learning and the factors that influence it and outlines a framework that should be useful in present analytical efforts and for identifying areas requiring further study.

    Audrey K. Cronin and James M. Ludes. Washington, D.C. : Georgetown University Press, 2004. 320p.
    This book brings together some of the world's finest experts, people who have made the study of this rising menace their life's work, to provide a comprehensive picture of the challenges and opportunities of the campaign against international terrorism. Part one, "The Nature of Terrorism," provides an overview and foundation for the current campaign, placing it within the political and historical context of previous threats and responses. Part two, "The Responses to Terrorism," looks at the range of policy instruments required in an effective strategy against terrorism. The contributors touch on aspects of counterterrorism such as diplomacy, intelligence and counterintelligence, psycho-political means, international law, criminal law enforcement, military force, foreign aid, and homeland security, showing not only how these tools are currently being employed but how often they are being underutilized as well.

    The Best of Times, the Worst of Times: Maritime Security in the Asia-Pacific. 
    Phil Joshua Ho & Catherine Z. Raymond. Singapore: World Scientific: Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies, c2005. 294p.
    Brings together in a single volume international experts renowned in their specializations to discuss issues and current trends relating to maritime security. It looks at the issue of maritime security in the Asia-Pacific through a three step approach. First it surveys both the global maritime outlook and the outlook in each of the regions of Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, and South Asia. From these regional perspectives, trends in commercial shipping and force modernization, and issues like the weapons proliferation and maritime terrorism are discussed. After looking at the maritime environment, the specific challenges that the maritime community faces are examined. These challenges include maritime boundary and territorial disputes in the South China Sea, the force modernization of three Northeast Asian navies, and the specter of maritime terrorism. The volume concludes by looking at some new initiatives for maritime cooperation, a survey of maritime "regime" building, and the legal and political implications of the proliferation security initiative.

    Author believes the war on terrorism -- as opposed to the campaign against al-Qaeda -- lacks strategic clarity, embraces unrealistic objectives, and may not be sustainable over the long haul. He calls for downsizing the scope of the war on terrorism to reflect concrete U.S. security interests and the limits of U.S. military power.

    The politics and ideology of terrorism have removed past limits on the levels of violence that terrorists are willing to use. Captured al Qaeda records clearly show that Islamic extremists have an interest in acquiring biological weapons. Still, the fact that a threat exists does not define its probability. With this study, Anthony Cordesman seeks to provide a credible risk assessment of biological terrorism.

    This incisive exploration of the conflicts that have erupted since the fall of communism offers a provocative portrait of a future world driven not by ideologies or economics, but by ethnicity, religion, and other cultural forces. The thesis is that the "clashes of civilizations are the greatest threat to world peace." The second chapter focuses on the nature and study of civilizations, and the last chapter focuses on the future of the West and other "core" civilizations.

    Coalitions Between Terrorist Organizations: Revolutionaries, Nationalists and Islamists.
    Ely Karmon. Leiden/Boston: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers, 2005. 425p.
    This volume proposes some theories on the conditions that favor the formation of coalitions between terrorist organizations, and how they function within the changing international system. These theories are tested against empirical data on actual cooperation between European and Palestinian terrorist organizations from 1968 to 1990, and cooperation between European left-wing terrorist organizations (the phenomenon known as Euro-terrorism) from 1984 to 1988. These findings form the basis of a broader theory concerning cooperation and coalitions between organizations involved in international terrorism. Finally, an attempt is made to verify whether the new terrorist players driven by religious motivation, will imitate the behavior of the ideological or nationalist organizations, and to test whether the theories concerning cooperation and coalitions developed in this volume apply to the new reality.

    Contemporary Muslim Apocalyptic Literature.
    David Cook. New York: Syracuse University Press, 2005. 272p.
    Although apocalyptic visions and predictions have long been part of classical and contemporary Islam, this is the first scholarly work to cover the disparate but influential body of modern writings in this area. David Cook puts the literature in context by examining not only the ideological concerns prompting apocalyptic material but also its interconnection with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Arab relations with the United States and other Western nations, and the role of violence in the Middle East. Islam began as an apocalyptic movement, Cook suggest, and has retained strong apocalyptic and messianic elements. One of his most striking discoveries is the influence of non-Islamic sources on contemporary Muslim apocalyptic beliefs. In a trenchant discussion of the influence of non-Islamic sources on contemporary Muslim apocalyptic writing, he traces anti-Semitic strains in Islamist thought in part to Western texts and traditions. Much of the importance of this work-which draws on primary Arabic texts never before studied-lies in its political content. Through a meticulous reading of current documents, incorporating everything from exegesis of holy texts to supernatural phenomena, Cook shows how radical Muslims, including members of al-Qa'ida, may have applied these ideas to their own agendas. By exposing the undergrowth of popular beliefs contributing to religion-driven terrorism, this book casts new light on today's political conflicts.

      133p.
    This volume looks at the implications of the September 11 terrorist attacks for Asia Pacific regional and global order. Six chapters collect Asian perspectives on how the world and the region should be managed because of, or in spite of, the events of September 11. A chapter on the Islam factor presents the views of Asian Muslims, assesses the role of "politicized Islam, " and outlines the challenges the attacks pose for Islamic countries in Asia Pacific. The second chapter, covering the implications for international institutions, considers regional institution building. The third notes the significant change in relations among China, Russia, Japan, and the United States. The three chapters on Indonesia, China, and Japan examine options on the U.S. led war on terrorism, the domestic debates in each country, and the significant differences between public opinion and governmental policy.

    Counterterrorism: A Reference Handbook.
    Graeme C.S. Steven & Rohan Gunaratna. Santa Barbara, CA: ABC-Clio, 2004. 293p.
    Outlines the threat of terrorism and ways to combat it. This extensive examination surveys a wide range of diverse terrorist groups from the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA) to Al Qaeda. It shows how key trends and patterns in domestic and international terrorism such as suicide bombings require counter strategies and tactics including surveillance and reconnaissance.
    Case studies of terrorist organizations in Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Balkans, and the Caucasus, and profiles of terrorists like Khalid Sheikh Mohommad, alias Mokhtar (The Brain), who masterminded the Al Qaeda attack on 9/11, illustrate the growing network of groups and leaders harnessing the forces of globalization. The authors suggest that no single state can act effectively on its own to confront terrorism--instead, a wide range of strategies needs to be adopted by all.

    Deadly Connections : States that Sponsor Terrorism.
    Daniel Byman. Cambridge; NY : Cambridge University Press, 2005. 369
    Thousands of people have died at the hands of terrorist groups who rely on state support for their activities. Iran and Libya are well known as sponsors of terrorism, while other countries, some with strong connections to the west, have enabled terrorist activity by turning a blind eye. Focusing primarily on sponsors from the Middle East and South Asia, it examines the different types of support that states provide, their motivations, and the impact of such sponsorship. The book also considers regimes that allow terrorists to raise money and recruit without providing active support. The experiences of Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Libya are detailed here, alongside the histories of radical groups such as al-Qaida, Hizbullah and Hamas. In conclusion, the book assesses the difficulties of forcing sponsors to cut ties with terrorist groups.

    Female Suicide Bombers. 
    Debra D. Zedalis. Honolulu, HI : University Press of the Pacific, 2004. 39p.
     
    Suicide bombers are today's weapon of choice. Terrorists are using suicide bombers because they are a low cost, low technology, and low risk weapon. Suicide bombers are readily available, require little training, leave no trace behind, and strike fear into the general population. The success of suicide bombers is dependent upon an element of surprise, as well as accessibility to targeted areas or populations. Both of these required elements have been successfully employed in the recent use of women as suicide bombers. Female suicide bombers were used in the past; however, the recent spate of female suicide bombers in different venues, in different countries, and for different terrorist organizations forces us to study this terrorist method. This research paper reviews historical female suicide bombers, focuses on female suicide bomber characteristics, analyzes recent changes in application by various terrorist organizations, and provides implications of change within a strategic assessment of future female suicide bombings.

    Ehrenfeld contends that the true face of terror is an international network of corrupt state leaders, super

Without money, especially laundered U.S. dollars, there would be no terror, and this lively, well-documented primer reveals the sources, the amounts and the armed terror organizations they support. Not surprisingly, the author is at her best on the ironies of the West's appetite for drugs, which terror groups exploit for funding, arms and recruiting those who would undermine a degenerate Western society. Ehrenfeld's timely expose should heat up public demand for real progress in the war on terrorism.

Attacks against Americans during the past dozen years may be an indication of more worrisome events to come. U.S. military forces in Japan were attacked in April of 1990 with botulinum toxin by the Aum Shinrikyo cult. Hundreds in Oregon were sickened with Salmonella after an attack in 1984. And small amounts of anthrax resulted in wide spread panic and frequent evacuations across country in the fall of 2001. In this book ten experts discuss in detail the threats posed by bio-weapons and assess the current state of U.S. biological defenses.

    Author focuses on a particular aspect of Islam - namely the concept of jihad - as the troublesome feature of the religion that, if permitted to flourish, poses a long-term threat to America. Since America is the leading power of the non-Islamic world, it is perceived as an "existential" enemy of Islam, at least as conceived by the al-Qaida militants. The attacks of September 11, were made by a generation of young militant Muslims inspired by the Islamic doctrine of jihad; militants who wish to achieve global domination. America is the principle obstacle to this end.

    Imperial Hubris: Why the West is Losing the War on Terror. 
    Anonymous. Washington, D.C.: Brassey's, 2004. 309p.
    It's unclear how, in an age when even office workers must sign confidentiality agreements, an alleged CIA Middle Eastern specialist has gotten permission to publish a sprawling book on the origins and present state of the "war on terror." His main point is that Arab antagonism to the West has its root in real grievances that have gone unaddressed by the U.S. The actions of the Saudis, and their U.S. supporters, come in for some hard criticism, as does the elevation of Northern Alliance warlords to de facto governors of Afghanistan.

    Indonesia's struggle: Jemaah Islamiyah and the Soul of Islam. 
    Greg Barton.
    Sydney : UNSW Press, 2004. 118p.
    Indonesian authorities responded quickly to the Bali bombing, tracking down leading Jemaah Islamiyah figures and bringing them to trial. Despite a subsequent attack in Jakarta, the attention of many people in the West has shifted to the Middle East and potential threats to Europe. Yet JI has the potential to mount new terrorist attacks and destabilize the world's largest Muslim country. In this timely book Greg Barton traces the religious, cultural, and political development of JI, and argues that it has important features in common with other organizations linked to al-Qaeda. Based on extensive research in Indonesia, the book assesses the level of support for JI and the Indonesian government's success in dealing with the threat it poses. Barton argues that, while the Indonesian authorities reacted well to the events in Bali, their subsequent response has not been as effective as is commonly assumed. He analyzes the recent election results and looks at the challenges facing the new Indonesian president.

    Donald E. Weatherbee. New York: Rowman & Littlefield, 2005. 306p.

    This balanced, comprehensive guide to Southeast Asian politics offers a sensible but non-dogmatic realist approach to the region's international relations. The author lucidly explains the dynamics of the Southeast Asian subsystem as a struggle for autonomy in pursuit of national interests. He explores three important questions, the answers to which will shape the future Southeast Asia. Will democratic regimes transform international relations in Southeast Asia? Will national leaders succeed in reinventing ASEAN as a more effective collaborative mechanism? Finally, how will the evolving Chinese position, balancing and perhaps displacing the United States as Asia's great power, affect Southeast Asia's struggle for autonomy?

    Jihadis in Jammu and Kashmir: A Portrait Gallery.

    Pakistan's relentless attempts to seize the state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) from the Indian Union are well known and documented. Yet little is known about the pattern of terrorist activities and the strategies used by the different tanzeems, or organizations, especially during the troubled decades from 1980 to 2000. The book begins with a brief overview of the origins of the dispute between India and Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir. It continues by providing details of thirtyone `tanzeems' or organizations involved in terrorist activities in the region, their arms supply, training and funding, and also their links with organizations outside India. It concludes with an examination of the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir with the armies of India and Pakistan deployed on the Line of Control (LOC).

    Jolly Roger with an Uzi : the Rise and Threat of Modern Piracy.
    Jack A. Gottschalk and Brian P. Flanagan.  Annapolis, MD: Naval Institute Press, 2000. 170p.
    Piracy has become a real threat to all who sail the oceans, regardless of the size or type of their vessel. Reported pirate attacks are on the increase, yet few people are aware of the scope and ferocity of today's marine terrorism. This book warns seafarers of the worldwide problem and suggests actions to be taken. The authors call attention to the fact that no location is entirely safe, although the preponderance of reported pirate assaults occur in the waters off Indonesia, Brazil, Somalia, and in the South China Sea. They describe the modern-day pirate as motivated primarily by greed, but not necessarily part of an organized crime group. As the title of the book indicates, pirates often use high-power automatic weapons, and they escape in high-speed boats. Most plan their attacks carefully, frequently using information gained through government agencies in ports. To curtail the crime, the authors suggest U.S. policy reforms, new roles for government agencies and military and maritime enforcement units, and a redefinition of jurisdictions.

    The Lesser Evil: Political Ethics in an Age of Terror.
    Michael Ignatieff.  Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2004. 212p.
    In the age of terrorism, the temptations of ruthlessness can be overwhelming. But we are pulled in the other direction too by the anxiety that a violent response to violence makes us morally indistinguishable from our enemies. There is perhaps no greater political challenge today than trying to win the war against terror without losing our democratic souls. Ignatieff traces the modern history of terrorism and counter-terrorism, from the nihilists of Czarist Russia and the militias of Weimar Germany to the IRA and the unprecedented menace of Al Qaeda. He shows how the most potent response to terror had been force, decisive and direct, but--just as important--restrained. The public scrutiny  and political ethics that motivate restraint also give democracy its strongest weapon: the moral power to endure when the furies of vengeance and hatred are spent.

Many of the homegrown Islamic militants fought against the soviets in Afghanistan, and now thousands of young men are being educated in Islamic schools across the Middle East, where they are inculcated with a Wahhabi brand of puritanical Islam that is fanatically anti-Western.

    Long before September 11, 2001, Daniel Pipes publicly warned Americans that militant Islam had declared war on America. Sadly Americans failed to take heed. Dividing his work into two subjects, he first defines militant Islam, stressing the large and crucial differences between Islam the faith and the ideology of militant Islam. He then discusses Islam in the U.S., and how this once distant religion has developed rapidly in the last decade. Among his findings: militant Islam has much in common with fascism and communism;  about one in every eight Muslims worldwide supports militant Islam; and militant Islam is not spawned by poverty. This edition enhances what is already widely recognized as an inclusive and definitive examinatin of Islam in politics.

    The New American Imperialism : Bush's War on Terror and Blood for Oil.
    Vassilis Fouskas and Bulent Gokay. Westport, Conn. : Praeger Security International, 2005. 247p.
    With the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the US's long war on communism was replaced by a perpetual "war on terror." The authors posit that this neo-imperialistic phase is but the latest development in a line of thought and action established after World War II. But, they say, 2005 is not 1945. Today, they argue, the US uses its power to deplete the resources of the developing world, and to compel the rest of the world to remain dependent on American management of the global economy. Contending that this situation is ultimately untenable, they assert that the US is entering a period of deep crisis. The best thing for American neo-imperialists to do to avert their worst nightmare - a strategic and economic alliance among Europe, Russia, China, and OPEC - would be to arrange for the orderly withdrawal of American power before it is too late for the human and environmental security of the world.

    Another terrorist attack on the U.S. is inevitable, according to analysts Simon and Benjamin. Based on interviews with current and former government officials, they warn that actions by the Bush administration are only energizing radical Islamist groups and paving the way for further terrorist attacks even as we squander resources in the war in Iraq. With the aid of technology and the Internet, the threat to the U.S. has become more agile and mobile. Exploring the long history of Islamic tensions with the West, the authors note that jihadists applaud U.S. difficulties in occupying Iraq and the benefits to their recruitment efforts, as they compare the troubled U.S. occupation with that of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s.
