Crusade 2.0 examines the resurgence of anti-Islamic sentiment in the US and explores three "unfinished wars" that have profoundly influenced the West: the Crusades, the Cold War, and the ongoing "war on terror" that continues to dominate U.S. thinking.
This book offers a timely and provocative analysis of current events in the context of historical trends and suggests what can be done to change course.
