by Newt Gingrich Ilan Berman provides a thought-provoking and convincing argument for the challenges we face in the "Long War," how we have missed the mark in our prosecution of it so far, and the next steps we must take to achieve victory. His analysis is forward thinking, insightful, and lucid. Radical Islamists are mobilizing against the West, and we are failing to meet the challenge. Since September 11, 2001, we have made critical errors. But so have our enemies. Every crisis is also an opportunity, and Ilan Berman presents clear solutions that--if acted upon today--wil not only change the course of the current fight but can also hasten the end of radical Islamism once and for all. Winning the Long War is a seminal call to action that should be required reading for all national security practitioners and each citizen of the United States. If we act upon its message, we most certainly can retake the offensive against radical Islam. Newt Gingrich is the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals
