Historian Bruce Thornton, a Research Fellow at Stanford’s Hoover Institution and Professor of Classics and Humanities at the California State University, and author of Greek Ways: How the Greeks Created Western Civilization; Democracy’s Dangers & Discontents: The Tyranny of the Majority from the Greeks to Obama, as well as The Wages of Appeasement: Ancient Athens, Munich, and Obama’s America, read my book The History of Jihad From Muhammad to ISIS, and this was his verdict:
Robert Spencer, one of our foremost analysts of Islamic jihad, has now written a historical survey of the doctrine and practice of Islamic sanctified violence. With crystal clarity and rigorous argument, he relentlessly marshals the facts that put the lie to the sophistries of apologists and the delusions of Western appeasers. To fight the enemy we must know the enemy, and Robert Spencer’s page-turner is the place to start.
