Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
This is an important book about the central issue of our time - the struggle against Islamist extremism. Kaufman understands this fight and has made an effective case for the imperative of taking bold action to defeat this threat to our security and the ideals we cherish. - Senator Joseph Lieberman ""A corrective to much of the contemporary hysteria of the hour. As Kaufman shows, for all the heartbreak of our present efforts in Iraq, ultimately it remains the best practical and moral course to foster some third way other than either autocracy or theocracy."" - Victor Davis Hanson, Stanford University ""Kaufman presents a thoughtful, comprehensive case. It ranks as the most historically powerful support of Mr. Bush and his doctrine, including the Iraq war."" - Washington Times ""In this excellent new book, Kaufman describes the Bush approach to foreign policy as the latest example of what he calls 'moral democratic realism,' an approach he attributes to FDR, Truman, and Reagan as well."" - National Review Read more...
