Publisher's summary

America's fight against radical Islam could soon be over, and a top secret plan from the Cold War is the key to our victory. Dr. Sebastian Gorka, counterinsurgency expert and Distinguished Chair of Military Theory at Marine Corps University, explains how America can win the war on terror quickly and decisively by delegitimizing the enemy in the eyes of its followers - a strategy that won the Cold War and would end the era of Jihad forever.

A must read for everyone

I have seen the author numerous times on the FOX Network and all of his opinions about the situation regarding Islamist Terrorism is right on target. It was after seeing him again last night on the Sean Hannity show that I was able to get the title of this book, and I'm so glad I did. I purchased the Kindle book from Amazon along with the audible reading from Audible to listen along while reading the book. I truthfully was amazed with all the different types of Islam factions that exist in the World. I started reading on 11/14/16 and finished on 11/15/16. It was so thought provoking that I just couldn't stop reading such a tremendous description of our task as Americans in not only recognizing how Jihad Islamist came into existence which was totally not what has been expressed here in America. I would encourage anyone that hasn't read this book to put it on their "must read list".

eye opening

I think the title should have focused in explaining the issues not so much the solution. While I gave the book 5 stars which I think is warranted i gave that for the great explanation of the issue.

You should really enjoy this read.

Great topic, educational, social enlightenment. Along with a map will give a greater understanding. Read it

really great history & intro to the Islamic State

This book gives a really good introduction to the Islamic State, what drives them, and some suggestions on defeating them. I thought it was invaluable in understanding more about the background and motivations of this evil group of people, but thought that the solution on how to defeat them was a bit thin. Though definitely worth the read!

Dr Gorka is fantastic

I really learned a lot from the book regarding Islam and how it relates to the rest of the world. Or how it doesn't

Actionable Information

This was my 9th book on the broad subject of Jihadism yet the first book to not just explain the sorry state of affairs in the world today w/ respect to radical Islam but actually provide the road map to victory in our war with these murdering psychopaths. Excellent read - had to buy a new high-lighter after reading, took notes, discussed w/ my work colleagues and begged them to read it it was so well written/researched/thought-out. Also included great references for future personal study and steers you in the direction of organizations that are actively and heroicly countering the threat of global Jihadism. Well worth your time.

A fact-based account of the history of Jihad

Dr. Gorka weaves a factual assessment of Jihad and what it takes to win a war against those who would seek to overthrow our nation and our way of government.

His background and upbringing provide a unique tapestry onto which he paints a very detailed history with specific citations, historical references, and well connected event timelines that make the reader understand the details of Jihad and how we can apply lessons learned from our efforts to eliminate other totalitarianistic regimes through history.

Extremely illuminating

Mr. Gorka provided a very fascinating examination of the threat IS presents and a good theory on how to combat it. His explanation of the origin of the threat and why the west has been unable to effectively confront it reveals why the current administration is taking the steps it is to fight it.

Great book

This book gave me much better understanding of the threat of global jihad. We need to put Dr. Gorka's steps for defeating jihad into action now.

Educational eye opener. Lots of history!

A learning experience from the beginning to end. Highly recommended! Clear and easy to understand language.
