Book Details

In Future Jihad, terrorism and Middle East expert Walid Phares gave a definitive account of the historical and cultural forces that led to September 11 and the rise of radical Islam. In The War of Ideas, he revealed the conflict of ideologies that underlie the War on Terror. Now, in The Confrontation, he identifies the clashes to come and provides a blueprint for defeating the forces of jihad. Moving from the ravaged villages of the Sudan to London's Muslim neighborhoods to the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan, he illuminates the vast and complex world of the global jihadist movement. He offers a multi-pronged strategy, global in scope, and calls on the world's diverse local and international institutions to come together and coordinate their efforts. Pointing the way forward, this book shows how we might reclaim a world that is safe for freedom and democratic societies.

In The News

“Walid Phares has been a tremendous help to all of us--legislators and all Americans--in understanding the global confrontation with Jihadism. He is rendering a valuable service to the free world with his work.” —Rep. Sue Myrick, Chairwoman, Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus, US House of Representatives

“Walid Phares has written a trilogy of books that collectively provide a set of intellectual armor for civilized societies engaged in the War against Islamic Terrorism. He has, in short, fortified liberal democratic resolve.” —Joseph Morrison Skelly, Ph.D, Association for the Study of the Middle East and Africa

“In order to engage in a strategic 'redefinition of the war,' Phares thoughtfully argues that there must be a 'Western rethinking' of the conflict ... he concludes that the United States, other democracies, and their potential allies across the world and within the Muslim world can win the confrontation.” —NewsMax

“The Confrontation, along with other books in the series, is a useful riposte to the "apologist" doctrine. . .Phares presents an ambitious plan, but it only matches the aspirations of the adversaries the civilized world faces.” —Washington Times

“Phares . . . is a voice of calm and reason. . . . Provocative reading.” —Kirkus Reviews on The War of Ideas

“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.” —U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman on The War of Ideas
