Don’t have Emerson’s book yet, but have a mini collection of books on fighting Al Qaeda by some leading experts in the battle. I like Kenneth Timmerman’s ‘Preachers of Hate’ and ‘Shadow Warriors’. Here is a partial list if you are interested:
Oriana Fallaci: ‘The Force of Reason’
Jed Babbin: ‘In The Words Of Our Enemies’
Norman Pohoretz: ‘World War IV’
David Horowitz: ‘Unholy Alliance’
Paul Sperry: ‘Infiltration’
Thanks to our brave military and President Bush, my interest in the topic is not as pressing as it once was.... we are safer now because of their sacrifice and service. It won’t be long though until every enemy of the US starts saber rattling our new ‘lame on terror’ President. They have already started, according to some of the recent press coming from Iran, North Korea, Russia and others.
Okay, and thanks...
A few names to add to that... Nonie Darwish, Brigitte Gabriel, Walid Shoebat — all having direct experience with Muslims, some being former Muslims and one a former terrorists in Israel (no longer, though...).
The above do have websites and books and videos (on the net, plus radio interviews and so on). I could do some searches, but I figure you can, too... :-)
