Non-Fiction Political
A U.S. senator and Pulitzer Prizewinner, both experts on
Southeast Asia, offer a bold new approach to address radical
Islam and fight global terror The next front in the war on terror is in Southeast Asia,
warn Senator Christopher Bond (R-MO) and Lewis Simons, both
leading experts on the region. The U.S. has bankrupted its
policies in dealing with the Islamic world. As
Fundamentalist Islam gains traction in Southeast Asia,
backed by Saudi money, the U.S. must act swiftly to
re-establish its credibility there and help defuse global
terrorism. Bond and Simons present a bold plan to accomplish this key
goal by substituting smart power (civilians in sneakers and
sandals) for force (soldiers in combat boots) in Indonesia
and the other nations of Southeast Asia, home to the world's
greatest concentration of Muslims. Introduces a critical new "smart power" approach to combat
global terror Written by two experts on Southeast Asia with
extensive contacts in Washington and overseas Tackles a crucial challenge to U.S. foreign policy and
President Obama's administration Examines a wide range of
views and people, from Osama bin Laden-trained armed
terrorists to radical clerics to western-trained officials
who plead for Americans to come to their countries to teach,
start small businesses, and improve health care The Next Front offers exactly the kind of fresh,
out-of-the-box thinking the United States needs to rebuild
its credibility and transcend its foreign policy failures.
