Reviews
Reviews of The War of Ideas: 'Phares shows us clearly who is waging the War of Ideas and what their goals are. His book is a pioneering work in history and politics. It shows clearly how Jihadism has become a strategic threat to democracy worldwide.' - Paulo Casaca, Chairman of the NATO commission to the European Parliament 'This book is a must read for those who want to understand the jihad radical Islamists are waging against democracies. Walid Phares has a gift for being able to identify the root causes of the war and what the West and the free world must do to prevail.' - Oliver North, host of FOX News's War Stories 'The work of Professor Walid Phares is a beacon that helps us to see and understand the extent of the Jihadist threat the World is facing. Nobody who reads his analysis will have any doubt left about the existential peril posed by the radical Islamists and Jihadi terrorists to democracies. A must read.' - Jose Maria Aznar, Former Prime Minister of Spain 'Dr. Phares's knowledge of the War of Ideas and the complex conflicts of the Greater Middle East is exceptional. His ability to communicate intellectually among various cultures is noted regionally and internationally. - Dr. Barham Salih, Deputy Prime Minister of Iraq 'Walid Phares has long been among the most knowledgeable and incisive scholars of the Middle East - its peoples, its cultures, its religions, and its radical movements. - U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman
