An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Frum, David / Perle, Richard, PUBLISHER: Ballantine Books, "An End ong>toong> Evil" charts the agenda for what's next in the ong>warong> on terrorism, as articulated by David Frum, former presidential speechwriter ong>andong> bestselling author of "The Right Man, " ong>andong> Richard Perle, former assistant secretary of defense ong>andong> one of the most influential foreign-policy leaders in Washingong>toong>n. This world is an unsafe place for Americans--ong>andong> the U.S. ong>goong>vernment remains unready ong>toong> defend its people. In "An End ong>toong> Evil, " David Frum ong>andong> Richard Perle sound the alert about the dangers around us: the continuing threat from terrorism, the crisis with North Korea, the aggressive ambitions of China. Frum ong>andong> Perle provide a detailed, cong>andong>id account of America's vulnerabilities: a military whose leaders resist change, intelligence agencies mired in bureaucracy, diplomats who put friendly relations with their foreign colleagues ahead of the nation's interests. Perle ong>andong> Frum lay out a bold program ong>toong> defend America--ong>andong> ong>toong> win the ong>warong> on terror. Among the ong>toong>pics this book addresses: - why the United States risks its security if it submits ong>toong> the authority of the United Nations - why France ong>andong> Saudi Arabia have ong>toong> be treated as adversaries, not allies, in the ong>warong> on terror - why the United States must take decisive action against Iran--now - what ong>toong> do in North Korea if neong>goong>tiations fail - why everything you read in the newspapers about the Israeli-Arab dispute is wrong - how our ong>goong>vernment must be changed if we are ong>toong> fight the ong>warong> on terror ong>toong> vicong>toong>ry--not just stalemate - where the next great terror threat is coming from--ong>andong> what we can do ong>toong> protect ourselves "An End ong>toong> Evil" will define the conservative point of view on foreign policy for a new generation--ong>andong> shape the agenda for the presidential-election year ong>andong> beyond. With a keen insiders' perspective on how our leaders are confronting--or not confronting--the ong>warong> on terrorism, David Frum ong>andong> Richard Perle make a convincing argument for why the ong>toong>ughest line is the safest line.
