Reviews"Concise, clear, and constructively combative, Dr. Gorka's book stands apart in its depth of understanding of Islamist terrorists and what their ultimate defeat demands of us. Above all, his defiance of political correctness makes this well- written, finely argued work of immediate practical value. The author has presented us with an inspiring defense not merely of intellectual integrity--so lacking among today's intelligentsia--but of our civilization." --RALPH PETERS, Fox News strategic analyst and author of Valley of the Shadow "Dr. Sebastian Gorka is one of the world's leading experts in asymmetric warfare. In Defeating Jihad you get a glimpse of why his opinion matters in councils of war and in academia. He combines the perceptive with the analytic, the piercing intellect with the grit of real-world experience." --STEPHEN K. BANNON, executive chairman of Breitbart News "America is at war, an unconventional war against a new totalitarian enemy. Sebastian Gorka understands this kind of war and the mind of our new enemy. This book provides America with a strategy to destroy ISIS or any group that follows the ideology of global jihad." --LT. GEN. CHARLES T. CLEVELAND, U.S. Army (Ret.), former Commanding General of U.S. Army Special Operations Command, home of the Green Berets "For years Dr. Gorka has been telling the truth about the existential danger of jihadism. The threat is real and it is here in America. With ISIS even more danger- ous than Al Qaeda, it is time to listen to what this man has to say. Defeating Jihad must be the foundation of our next commander in chief's plan to win this war." --CONGRESSMAN TRENT FRANKS (R-Ariz.), member of the House Armed Services Committee, "Concise, clear, and constructively combative, Dr. Gorka's book stands apart in its depth of understanding of Islamist terrorists and what their ultimate defeat demands of us.

SynopsisNow a New York Times bestseller America is at war. The fight against global jihad has cost 7,000 American lives and almost $2 trillion, and yet, most Americans do not understand what is at stake. The public lacks knowledge and safety because two presidents and their administrations neglected the most basic strategic question: who is the enemy? Presidents Bush and Obama both named the global jihadi movement--a movement with an intent to destroy the West--"violent extremism." Their tidy term was an attempt to maintain peace with the Muslim community. But when they failed to appropriately name the enemy, they failed to fully understand Islamic extremism. This failure is why the U.S. has been in Afghanistan for sixteen years with no end in sight. But this war is eminently winnable if we remove our ideological blinders, accurately name our enemy, and draw up a strategy to defeat the ideas that inspire terrorism. So says Dr. Sebastian Gorka, one of the most experienced and sought-after authorities on counterterrorism. Dr. Gorka has been one of the intelligence community's go-to experts on counterterrorism since 9/11. He's been called to brief Congress and the Marine Corps and was asked to analyze the Patriot's Day Boston Marathon Bombing for the US government. Dr. Gorka's report for the trial of Dzhokhar "Jahar" Tsarnaev was widely circulated in counterterrorism circles and the media because it accurately painted a picture, not of a teenager on the cover of Rolling Stone , but of a terrorist. Dr. Gorka is respected by peers because he understands our enemy is not "terror" or "violent extremism." Our enemy is the global jihadi movement, a modern totalitarian ideology rooted in the doctrines and martial history of Islam whose goals are to build an empire, suppress "false Muslims," and engage in guerilla warfare against infidels. Taking his cue from the formerly top-secret analyses that shaped the U.S. response to the communist threat, Dr. Gorka has produced a compelling profile of the jihadi movement--its mind and motivation--and a plan to defeat it., Now a New York Times bestseller!

Very educating and readable.
I have a greater understanding now of the modern jihadi movement. Dr. Gorka gives a detailed history of this modern movement of fundamental Islam and its point of view. I now see the reality in how the terrorist see the world. The reading is captivating and the book continues to call me to read. The truth will set us free.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Excellent condition.
I cam off with a better understanding of the problems we face as a nation. I wouldn't pass up a chance to listen to the author on just about any topic. I also wouldn't hesitate to read anything else that he has written or will write in the future. Great American!!!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

We CAN Defeat ISIS, et al.
Gorka has given a logical approach to defeat ISIS after using history to show a similar approach to other ideological enemies. He shows the weakness of "Politically Correct Thinking," which has already led us in the wrong direction on a number of issues. This is a MUST READ for anyone who desires to see America succeed against a dangerous enemy that has already attacked us a number of times on our land. We must see ourselves as being IN A WAR instead of some minor fanatic uprising. With perceived successes, ISIS and other Islamic terrorist groups will draw more supporters and suicide combatants to kill and maim innocent people around the globe, particularly in the USA.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
