Summary:"This book examines the threat that Islamic extremists pose to the United States and provides a discussion of Iraq as a test case of America's war on terrorism. Explaining the basics of Islam and guiding the reader through the intricacies of each significant extremist group, the Palmers answer key questions: Who are the jihadists and how do they fit within the broader context of the Islamic religion? What is their war plan and how do they operate? Who are their allies and what are their weaknesses? What is the experience of Israel, the Islamic world, and the United States in fighting Islamic extremists?" "Drawing on their thorough understanding of the culture and history of the Muslim world, the authors provide the only current analysis of the vulnerabilities of the jihadists, linking those weaknesses to concrete strategies to defeat them."--BOOK JACKET.
