by Natan Sharansky.
Sharansky, the famous Soviet dissident who spent a decade in gulags, has authored his vision for defeating terrorists worldwide: launching a flood of democratic initiatives, especially in totalitarian regimes. This book, which gained the attention of President Bush and his administration, outlines Sharansky’s strategies - based on personal experience - for making the world a safer place. Sharansky explains that the “public square test,” which states that an individual knows he is free if he can go to his city’s public square and say whatever he wants, is the bedrock Western right that can find traction in dictatorships. Christian audiences will appreciate Sharansky’s discussions of life in Israel, and his thesis here is critical to understanding and overcoming this generation’s enemies. 6 x 9 • Paperback • 312 pages
