Future Jihad

Terrorist Strategies Against America

Cover of Future Jihad

Since the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Walid Phares has been consistently called on by the U.S. State and Justice departments, Congress, and media all over the world to help explain who the jihadists are and prepare for what's to come. Phares' close study and analysis of the jihad phenomenon for over 25 years uniquely qualifies him to translate the intentions, justifications, and goals of the terrorists who are determined to defeat America and the West.

In this definitive book he reveals for the first time the fundamental misundestandings about the aims of al Qaeda, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations. The true historical rationale for current manifestations of terrorism emerges. He answers such critical questions as: How long will this war last? Is the United States secure on the inside? Will the United States have to engage the jihadists worldwide and in multiple campaigns, and where? He illuminates the connections between jihadism and nation states around the world and illustrates how terrorism could play out on a global scale. Future Jihad also shows how our defenses have been infiltrated, identifies the future generation of homegrown terrorists; and reveals the strategies these terrorists are adopting.

Phares presents the frightening reality that, for the jihadists who carry out the heinous crimes that continue to make headlines, victory means conquering western culture, defeating the western mind. Phares' insider-like knowledge is critical as democracies continue to fight terrorist forces. This will be the book that paves the way toward truly understanding who our enemies are and how to beat them.
