Byman (peace and security studies, Georgetown U.) is with the Brookings Institute and served on the 9/11 Commission. His concern is not fighting jihad, but fighting against it, more specifically fighting against al-Qa'ida, which he characterizes as bowed but not broken by flawed US efforts. His five fronts are military, ideas, intelligence, homeland defense, and democratic reform. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
A comprehensive look at the War on Terror and the best way to a safer future
Scholar Daniel Byman offers a new approach to fighting the war on terrorism. He convincingly argues that two of the main solutions to terrorism offered by politicians-military intervention and the democratization of the Arab world-shouldn't even be our top priorities. Instead, he presents a fresh way to face intelligence and law enforcement challenges ahead: conduct counterinsurgency operations, undermine al-Qaeda's ideology, selectively push for reforms, and build key lasting alliances.
