Synopsis

Extremists have made, and will continue into the future, varied attempts to attack the US and its allies with varying levels of organization and skill. We shake our heads with a certain degree of disbelief and say, “When will it end?” After the destruction of the World Trade Center and the accompanying damages to the Pentagon and the national psyche, government has enacted laws and strategies to prevent terrorist activities. However, as democratic societies which value individual rights, we are challenged to not provoke a response which undermines our Constitutional system of government. In a thorough investigative fashion, "Victory Over Terrorism" takes readers through the strange and often sordid methods that are routinely utilized by terrorists organizations, the prevailing thoughts and beliefs of Muslim communities throughout the world, and the anti-terrorist practices that intensified under the administrations of Presidents George W. Bush and Barack H. Obama. "Victory Over Terrorism" helps us understand the problems associated with national security and their possible solutions. The book is an important piece of sociopolitical literature; it is well-written and replete with research, erudite observation and description. As a historian with a deep understanding of geopolitics, Dr. Juan R. Céspedes examines the most urgent questions pertaining to the problem of terrorism. How is terrorism defined? Can the threat of terrorism ever be eliminated? This is required reading for the informed citizen, law enforcement and military personnel, or anyone with an interest in national security issues and policies.
