A breakthrough toward understanding how to fight terrorism

This slim monograph is a breakthrough in the search for a holistic approach to fighting Islamist terrorism. Cheryl Benard of the RAND Corporation offers a sophisticated yet actionable approach toward development of a coherent counterterrorism strategy, and how the United States can work with current allies in the Islamic world and cultivate new ones. "Civil Democratic Islam" should be helpful in developing practical approaches to the still-failed hearts-and-minds efforts of the democracies in societies that we in the West still fail to respect and understand.
