Compelling, penetrative and timely. If more of us in the West grasp Aslan's arguments, we will begin to win the war of ideas against Jihadists and extremists. * Ed Husain, author of The Islamist * excellent * paul sims, Guardian * absorbing, thought-provoking and illuminating... Few writers are as well qualified to tackle the terrain... Aslan's book represents nothing less than a call to arms, a clear-eyed and impassioned remidner that the most effective way to win a cosmic war is to triumph in the battle for hearts and minds at home. * Sarfraz Manzoor, Guardian * What is refreshing about Aslan's book is its breadth and its impartiality. * Telegraph * 'Offers a very persuasive argument for the best way to counter jihadism."" * The Washington Post *
