If the West unites and acts decisively, it can defeat terrorism. These are the conclusions of Terrorism: How the West Can Win, edited by Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's ambassador to the United Nations. The book itself is an important event in the war against terrorism. It shatters the myth that one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter, laying out, with great clarity, the essential difference between terrorism and all other types of conflict. Lucidly, step by step, it refutes the comfortable (and often self~serving) assertions that terrorism must be "understood," that we must resign ourselves to it, that there is nothing to be done. Instead, Netanyahu and his contributors (who include Secretary of State George Shultz, Senators Moynihan, Cranston, and Laxalt, Jeane Kirkpatrick, Israeli Defense Minister Rabin, and commentators such as George Will, Paul Johnson, and Jean~Francois Revel) offer a comprehensive, reasoned analysis of terrorism as a phenomenon, a startling dissection of the West's weakness toward terrorism, and a practical, sober strategy for meeting terrorism's challenge. Terrorism: How the West Can Win is a polemic, a practical guide, and a considerable work of history. Although made up of a number of contributions, it is a single argument, one which is most brilliantly expressed in Ambassador Netanyahu' s opening and closing essays, which should stand as the definitive statements on how the West should think about terrorism and what to do about it. This book could change the course of the war against terrorism. N° de réf. du vendeur 6142302

Hardcover. Etat : Very good. Etat de la jaquette : Good. xv, [1], 254, [2] pages. Index. DJ slightly scuffed, stray ink marks lower margin p.203, form letter from Jewish Community Relations Council laid in. Benjamin "Bibi" Netanyahu (born 21 October 1949) is an Israeli politician serving as the 9th and current Prime Minister of Israel since 2009, previously holding the position from 1996 to 1999. Netanyahu is also currently a member of the Knesset and the Chairman of the Likud party. Netanyahu is the first Israeli Prime Minister born in Israel after the establishment of the state. Netanyahu joined the Israel Defense Forces and became a leader in the Sayeret Matkal special forces unit. Netanyahu took part in many missions, including Operation Inferno (1968), Operation Gift (1968) and Operation Isotope (1972), during which he was shot in the shoulder. Netanyahu fought in the War of Attrition and the Yom Kippur War in 1973, taking part in special forces raids along the Suez Canal, and then leading a commando assault deep into Syrian territory. Includes articles by George P. Shultz, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, Jeane J. Kirkpatrick, Daniel Schorr, Arthur J. Goldberg, Eugene Rostow, Edwin Meese III, Alan Cranston, Yitzhak Rabin, Jack Kemp, Bernard Lewis, Michael Ledeen, Claire Sterling, Charles Krauthammer, Borchgrave, Chalfont, William Webster, Paul Laxalt, and others. From a review posted on-line: Benjamin Netanyahu's "Terrorism: How the West Can Win" is a still relevant work. Originally written in 1986 it is amazing how much in this book has come to be. And how the U.S. still struggles with points discussed in this book. The final chapter, an essay by the author, whose brother was killed commanding the Entebbe raid, leading an elite Israeli strike force., has been often quoted and excerpted as perhaps the strongest public policy argument for a broad gauge use of stringent measures against terrorism, including economic blockade, denial of airline access, and use of military vs. police elements for selected counter-terrorism operations. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. N° de réf. du vendeur 48204
