ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Frum, David / Perle, Richard, PUBLISHER: Ballantine Books, "An End to Evil" charts the agenda for what's next in the ong>warong> on terrorism, as articulated by David Frum, former presidential speechwriter and bestselling author of "The Right Man, " and Richard Perle, former assistant secretary of defense and one of the most influential foreign-policy leaders in Washington. This world is an unsafe place for Americans--and the U.S. government remains unready to defend its people. In "An End to Evil, " David Frum and 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 and Perle provide a detailed, candid 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 and Frum lay out a bold program to defend America--and to win the ong>warong> on terror. Among the topics this book addresses: - why the United States risks its security if it submits to the authority of the United Nations - why France and Saudi Arabia have to be treated as adversaries, not allies, in the ong>warong> on terror - why the United States must take decisive action against Iran--now - what to do in North Korea if negotiations fail - why everything you read in the newspapers about the Israeli-Arab dispute is wrong - how our government must be changed if we are to fight the ong>warong> on terror to victory--not just stalemate - where the next great terror threat is coming from--and what we can do to protect ourselves "An End to Evil" will define the conservative point of view on foreign policy for a new generation--and shape the agenda for the presidential-election year and beyond. With a keen insiders' perspective on how our leaders are confronting--or not confronting--the ong>warong> on terrorism, David Frum and Richard Perle make a convincing argument for why the toughest line is the safest line.
