Review
This book is long overdue. Patrick Sookhdeo has put together a stunning in-depth analysis of perhaps the greatest threat facing the Western World today. I strongly commend it to anyone attempting to understand the issues surrounding global jihad, particularly policy makers and those charged with executing the responses required. Our current campaign plans lack both clarity and understanding - this book provides both, and all those engaged in the formulation of future plans should read what he has to say very carefully indeed - their efforts will be well rewarded. -Major General (retired) Tim Cross CBE, Army Adviser to the House of Commons Defence Committee. After every atrocity carried out by Muslim jihadists against the West, we ask the dismal question 'Why do they hate us so much?'. Patrick Sookhdeo's book explains exactly why, and what we can do about it -General (retired) Sir Hugh Beach GBE, KCB, MC. Tactics without strategy, warned Sun Tzu, is the noise before defeat. Patrick Sookhdeo's book tells us much about our opponents' strategy. We would do well to understand it, to recognise its attraction and its force, and to meet it with a strategy of our own. We will have no excuse for saying that we were not warned. -Professor Richard Holmes, Professor of Military and Security Studies at Cranfield University --Professor Richard Holmes, Professor of Military and Security Studies at Cranfield University
