An inside look into the mindset of jihad, including firsthand interviews with some of the world's most sinister terrorists.

During an interrogation in Afghanistan, when asked how long the jihadists intended to fight, a Taliban commander uttered the words, "If it takes a thousand years." This chilling statement illustrates both how terrorists of this level operate and the generational approach they take when it comes to bringing destruction to the world.

The West is facing a determined enemy with a fundamentally different world view. Author and former Army Captain Jesse Petrilla provides unique insight into the jihadist mind, featuring interviews with Taliban and Al-Qaeda members just after their capture, interviews with international journalists and professors, warnings from European politicians, as well as experiences from travels throughout the Islamic world.

If It Takes a Thousand Years delves into the policies which have enabled our enemies both at home and abroad, providing positive solutions as to how America and the West can confront this threat and protect their way of life.

It is a very scholarly listen with much information I was unaware of, so many facts regarding Islam and Jihad - and i consider my self well educated on the subject. That combined with the author’s real first hand experience that confirms and highlights Islam’s hardline cultural and it’s global mission makes for an enjoyable listen.

Outstandingly entertaining educational
