Babylon's Covert War [ http://www.amazon.com/Babylons-Covert-War-J-White/dp/0615319874 ]

In Babylon's Covert War author J.H. White builds a provocative and compelling argument designed to strengthen the U.S.'s response to the global threat posed by Islam and radical Jihadists. Building on history, military strategy and tactics, Middle Eastern ideology, and practical anti-terrorism experience author White paints the stark picture of America's failures in defending against Islam's war, but also offers up an actionable plan to rectify past failures. There are those that have described the current war on terrorism as a new phenomenon, one that has emerged only in the last several decades. The truth, however, is that the United States, and its allies have been dealing with a multitude of radical forms of Islam ever since the founding of U.S. It could be argued that in all that time a cogent and effective strategy should have evolved to inform modern opponents of Holy Jihad, or minimally to aid U.S. efforts in dealing with the Iraq War. But sadly, this has not been the case. Babylon's Covert War not only lays bare the complex web of contributing factors to Islam's battle against the West, but also details the reasons why all wars are not the same and why Islam's war must be more fully understood by the U.S. if Jihadism is to be stopped. Written with grit and brutal honesty, Babylon's Covert War will disturb many, but it is a book that must be taken seriously by anyone concerned with world peace and the fate of free people.

Don;t hold your breath waiting for ANY US administration to deal with “radical” islam. “Radical” islam is embodied in a nation that every US president has either ignored or considered an ally, Saudi Arabia. The Saudis have incorporated “radical”islam int other warp and weave of their culture for generations yet this is the nation that is the core of salafism around the world.
