This book has a similar theme to Mark Alexander's excellent book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age. Those who enjoyed David Frum and Richard Perle's book are sure to enjoy Mark's too. For it is insightful, thought-provoking, and very well written.I have watched David Frum and Richard Perle answer questions on this book on C-Span, too; in my opinion, they have a firm understanding of the difficulties that lie ahead of us in the West.
