Synopsis

The West is losing the 'war on terror'. Not only have we been slow in attending to the globalisation of the Jihad movement - from Indonesia to the Caucasus and from Pakistan to Western Europe - we have also been stoking the fire. The allied invasion of Iraq has turned that long-suffering country into a melting pot for terrorism - terrorism that, with the help of the Internet and the proliferation of small self-starter cells, is spreading with frightening speed across the globe. This provocative and engaging book is the first to examine the London bombings, to point to where the danger is growing and to show how America's tendency to frame the conflict in religious terms, as a fight between good and evil, is leading us towards disaster. But THE NEXT ATTACK also offers a new strategy for mutual survival between the East and West in the twenty-first century.THE NEXT ATTACK is essential reading for our age.

Media Reviews
'For anyone who cares about the security of the West and its relationship with the Muslim world, THE NEXT ATTACK is a book that must be read. Benjamin and Simon understand the terrorist threat as few others do, and their recommendations should influence leaders around the world.' -- BILL CLINTON 'Chilling ... written in clear and credible prose ... the most sustained critique yet of the Bush administration's counterterrorism efforts' -- The Washington Post 'Apersuasive and utterly frightening picture of the current state of America's war on terror.' -- New York Times Praise for The Age of Sacred Terror : 'A gripping account of al-Qaeda's rise and America's response.' -- Newsweek 'A lucid, passionate, shocking account of Islamist terrorism. Anyone interested in how the enemies of the West operate will want to read this book.' -- Ian Buruma 'Insightful and incisive.' -- The Economist 'With telling detail and crisp prose, Benjamin and Simon's book may emerge as the best insider account.' Washington Post
