Civilization and Its Enemies: The Next Stage of History, by Lee Harris. War with the ruthless gang known to us as Al-Qaeda is inevitable. Bin Laden and his ilk use our own tolerance and civilization as a weapon against us. Mr. Harris delves into the roots of human history and philosophy to help us understand why this is the case. His views are clear cogent and always backed up with a wealth of intelligence and logic. Perhaps the most striking feature of the book is that it soundly refutes the current faddish belief among some historians that we are approaching an end to armed struggles in history. (Fukuyama calls this the end of history itself.) A fascinating read. Highly recommended.
