Refocus on the fight.
Ten years ago, when radical Islamist terrorists used three U.S.
airplanes to kill nearly three thousand of our countrymen, America
was angry. It was a focused and justified anger--one that generated
clear objectives and a willingness to meet them. But that resolve
has deteriorated so much that many of our nation's top political
and military leaders will scarcely utter the word that brought us
here, "terrorism," let alone the ideology that fuels it, "radical
Islam."
In "The Fight of Our Lives," William J. Bennett and Seth
Leibsohn examine the devolution of America's post-9/11 tenacity and
how this country's well-meaning culture of religious tolerance,
coupled with soft and apologetic political leadership, has placed
us squarely in the pocket of radical Islamists who have made clear
their intention to obliterate everything we value.
America's devotion to political correctness has crippled its
ability to accurately interpret and respond to the motives of its
fiercest enemies. Unless we change course and re-engage the fight,
the costs of our tolerance will prove tragic and immeasurable.
"The Fight of Our Lives" helps readers refocus, to reframe and
understand the threats we face.
By surveying and explaining the current scene, Bennett and
Leibsohn point the way to a future in which our enemies are
properly acknowledged and firmly opposed.
"Crucial," "Timely," "Brave"--Advanced Praise for "The Fight of
Our Lives"
"An important book. Many have forgotten the mortal threat to
America that is radical Islam. Bennett and Leibsohn explain why we
must wake up and what we need to do." ―Mark Levin, nationally
syndicated radio talk-show host and author of "Liberty and
Tyranny"
"This bold and readable book makes a powerful, if controversial,
case against appeasing terrorists and those who support them--and
in favor of a strong cultural commitment to defeat an enemy bent on
our destruction. You may disagree, as I do, with some of its
points, but you ignore its central conclusions at your, and our,
peril." ―Alan Dershowitz, Felix Frankfurter Professor of Law,
Harvard University, and author of "Trials Of Zion"
"Bill Bennett has been a brilliant sentry in our nation's
cultural life. In this luminous and spirited book, he and co-author
Seth Leibsohn sound the alarm on behalf of us all. America can
prevail in its struggle against radical Islamism, and they show us
exactly how. A book for this moment, written with poise and
passion, and suffused with love of country." ―Fouad Ajami, Johns
Hopkins University professor and a senior fellow at the Hoover
Institution
"Bennett and Leibsohn follow Admiral Nelson's strategy―"Go right
at 'em"―right at both our deadly enemy, radical Islam, and its
apologists, and especially right at our own politically correct,
self-neutered establishment. A wise, timely, and brave book." ―R.
James Woolsey, former director of Central Intelligence and head of
the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency
"We are living, as Bennett and Leibsohn say, in 'the Gelded Age,
' but we won't be living there for long because the forces of
radical Islam have not paused in their drive to defeat the West.
"The Fight of Our Lives" rouses the sleepy and the weary. It's the
crucial book of the year." ―Hugh Hewitt, nationally syndicated
radio talk-show host and author of "The War Against the West"
