Opis

"A solid job of reporting, a personal journey of discovery, and a wake-up call for all who read it." Charles Gibson, ABC News

After nearly one hundred assignments for ABC News in Muslim countries, Jim Sciutto brings back this disturbing truth: the Al-Qaeda inspired view of an evil America bent on destroying Islam has moved from the fringes to the mainstream.
Sciutto profiles a cross-section of people in the Arab world, including a former Al-Qaeda jihadi turned electrician in Saudi Arabia, a Jordanian college student willing to risk his life by killing Americans in Baghdad, a Christian woman who supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, bitter pro-democracy advocates in Egypt who feel betrayed by the United States, and British-born Muslim terrorists living in London. The result is an alarming portrait of the depth and scope of anti-American sentiment.
Yet there is hope for America to turn the tide of hate. Democratic ideals are still held in high esteem, even as America s perceived actions against Muslims are not, and President Obama s election has raised hopes for change among many Muslims.
Against Us is an urgent wake-up call for all Americans and in particular those charged with formulating U.S. foreign policy to rebuild relations with the Arab world and restore confidence in American values."
