THE essays in Fighting the Ideological War: Winning
strategies from Communism to Islamism argue that the
United States will never defeat extreme Muslim groups by responding
to them only with violence. Instead, the authors argue, governments
need to start with a much greater understanding of the ideologies
that they oppose, and analyse how past conflicts have been resolved
- for example, with Communism or Fascism - in order to find other
ways of dealing with Islamism. The editors of the book are
Katharine Gorka and Patrick Sookhdeo (Isaac Publishing, £9.99
