The Five Front War: The Better Way to Fight Global Jihad
Autor Daniel Bymanen Limba Engleză Hardback – 5 noi 2007
Scholar Daniel Byman offers a new approach to fighting the war on terrorism. He convincingly argues that two of the main solutions to terrorism offered by politicians–military intervention and the democratization of the Arab world–shouldn′t even be our top priorities. Instead, he presents a fresh way to face intelligence and law enforcement challenges ahead: conduct counterinsurgency operations, undermine al–Qaeda′s ideology, selectively push for reforms, and build key lasting alliances.
Daniel Byman (Washington, DC) directs the Security Studies Program and the Center for Peace and Security Studies at Georgetown University. He is a Senior Fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings Institution and also served on the 9/11 Commission. He regularly writes about terrorism and the Middle East for the Washington Post, Slate, and other publications.

Descriere
Praise for
The Five Front War
"Daniel Byman writes with the access and intimacy of an insider and the critical, dispassionate eye of an outsider. At a time when the sky does, indeed, appear to be falling, he offers us hopeful, realistic solutions for defeating terrorism. The Five Front War should be required reading for scholars, soldiers, and citizens searching for the way ahead."
Dana Priest, Pulitzer Prize winning national security correspondent, the Washington Post
"An impressively comprehensive analysis of one of the most formidable security challenges of our time. Its authoritative policy recommendations are as timely as they are compelling."
Bruce Hoffman, Professor, Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University; and Senior Fellow, Combating Terrorism Center, U.S. Military Academy
"Daniel Byman lays out a series of cogent, well–argued strategies to prevail in the struggle against violent jihadists in The Five Front War that will be of considerable interest to policymakers, journalists, and the interested public alike. An important and well–written addition to the field."
Peter Bergen, author of Holy War, Inc. and The Osama bin Laden I Know
