Islamic militancy has raised its head in the modern world and is targeting America the same way it has assaulted the rest of the world for almost 14 centuries. Historian and foreign affairs expert Serge Trifkovic details how a shortsighted U.S. foreign policy provided funding and training for the Taliban movement. You’ll be outraged learning that the C.I.A. provided Al-Qaeda with training in sabotage skills (i.e. terrorism). A former National Security Advisor to the president said that such U.S. involvement created no more than “some stirred-up Moslems.” What a colossal mistake. Our secular foreign policy “experts” are asleep at the switch assuming that religion isn’t important in international affairs since they themselves don’t take religion seriously.

The Sword of the Prophet will give you the unvarnished truth about the rise of Islam and the patterns set by its founder that are still with us to this day. The sober, factual, and contextual presentation found in this book is essential reading for those who wish to preserve our civilization and future generations.
