Summary

"In this book Walid Phares reveals for the first time the fundamental misunderstandings 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."--BOOK JACKET.
