The Two Faces of Islam: Saudi Fundamentalism and Its Role in Terrorism

18 reviews
Stephen Schwartz

Anchor, 2003

Insightful, well researched, and disturbing
In "The two Faces of Islam", Stephen Schwartz locates the primary source of fanatically intolerant Islam in the world today, finding its origin in the Wahhabi denomination, which is the official religion of Saudi-Arabia. This version of Islam, Schwartz argues, was imposed on Arabia by naked force, and maintains its power by official suppression of all other Islamic traditions. Then, in recent ...

Robert L. Snow

Da Capo Press, 1999

SWAT made simple
Very simple yet elaborate enough to get some depth of SWAT. I'm not a law enforcer but just wanted to know more about SWAT. This book helped me a lot understand many aspects of SWAT such as Hostage Negotiations, Site Assault, Perimeters and Security, Team Work, etc. Very good read, and it has some useful pictures too.

Terrorism is the most clear and present danger we confront today, yet no phenomenon is more poorly understood by policymakers, the media, and the general public. The Faces of Terrorism is the first serious interdisciplinary examination of terrorism in all its facets. What gives rise to it, who are its proponents and how do they think, and how--and why--does it work? Neil Smelser begins by tackling the fundamental problem of defining what ...

Charles D. Ferguson, William C. Potter, ...

Routledge, 2005

Thinking About the Unthinkable
Ferguson and Potter, writing on behalf of the Center for Non Proliferation Studies, have written an easy to read primer on the faces of Nuclear Terrorism. The authors lead the reader through the most likely threats one small step at a time with great patience. If there is one lesson from the past two decades of post cold war terrorism ( it has been 10 years since Bin Laden declared war) it ...

Against Us: The New Face of America's Enemies in the Muslim World

12 reviews
Jim Sciutto

Harmony, 2008

Inquisitive Minds
Jim Sciutto isn't one of those typical Network Television reporters who dashes around war zones pretending to get shot at constantly and know more than the rest of us. He is a even-handed student of the Islamic world, attempting in his own humble way to understand the ire and distrust that exists therein. I expect the negative reviewers, of whom there are few here, have not spent time in ...

The New Face of War: How War Will Be Fought in the 21st Century

9 reviews
Bruce D. Berkowitz

Free Press, 2007

The Two Faces Of The Book
At the risk of being repetitive, I too will comment on the fact that the title of the book and the dust jacket description seem to be two to three steps removed from the actual writings of the author. Now it could be that I had an unfair expectation, but I expected the book to focus more on how the military uses the new technology available to it to fight wars. I was looking for detailed ...

Dr. Harik provides an in depth analysis of the struggle between Hezbollah and the Israelis as well as the roles of the U.S., Syria and Iran. I learned more in the first few pages than in hours of mainstream media. HIGHLY recommend it!

Multiple writers

Wentworth Printing Corp, 2007

Moving book
I wrote the Kentucky story for this book, but I'd like to commend Rebecca Pepin and the other writers who contributed. I love what this book does for the families of the military men and women whose stories are depicted inside, and my own personal experience was very enriching for me personally. "Getting to know" DeShon Otey through his family was one of the most moving experiences I've ever had. ...

Paul Shambroom

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003

Featured in Mr. Shambroom's book
I am one of the few people who are featured in Mr. Shambroom's book. It was an honor to have him among us as we performed our daily duties. We are not people of evil, we are all Americans bent on protecting our homeland from all who wish to destroy her. This is a good book. It details our daily life. No one loves nuclear weapons. Not even us who work with them. But the cat is out of the bag and ...

Richard Alan White

Georgetown University Press, 2004

A hero's story
Richard Alan White's account of the heroic Paraguayan physician Joel Filartega is a is an extremely captivating and well written account of fact that reads like the best of fiction. The story documents the case that affirmed that the US court system can protect aliens who are victims of human rights abuses that occur in other countries and can not be fairly adjudicated. The author, a close ...

Faces of Evil

Lois Gibson, Deanie Mills

Expanding Horizons, 2007

Couldn't Put it down..
I picked up this paperback and couldn't put it down. I even had my wife read it just so she would know the slime that was out there. I'm not someone that wants to draw, I couldn't draw a matchstick person, but I read a lot of true crime and Lois put together a large amount of infomation in that area. She told it in a great manner. I highly recommend this book. Mick Addington

The New Face of Terrorism: Threats from Weapons of Mass Destruction
Nadine Gurr, Benjamin Cole

I. B. Tauris & Company, Ltd, 2000

This timely book examines the new style of terrorism by small groups, cults, even individuals with access to weapons of mass destruction. These groups and individuals typified by, for example, the Aum cult in Tokyo or the action of Timothy McVeigh in the USA, are more difficult to control than even small disaffected groups with political aims. The events surrounding Usamah bin-Laden are a clear indication of the significance and relevance of the ...
