Recenzje

'In this excellent, balanced, and well-informed survey of US military interventions over the past thirty years, Henriksen provides a sober reminder that salafi jihadist terrorists will not end their war against the United States simply because we declare those wars to be over.' Colin Dueck, author of Age of Iron: On Conservative Nationalism
