Our contributor Andrew Bostom, whose landmark book, The Legacy of Jihad, has just been published, is interviewed at Redstate.org. It is a long and highly worthwhile read. President Bush comes in for thougthful criticism for ignoring the real nature of the jihad tradition, something that every American needs to understand and come to terms with. We are all in debt to Dr. Bostom for his extraordinary work on the subject. His book deserves a place on the shelf of every American who wants to understand — and win — the War on Terror.
