Confronting Jihad: Israel's Struggle & The World After 9/11

An American journalist living in Jerusalem with his wife and children, Singer is witness to the war for survival waged every day in Israel. Despite the constant barrage of terrorism and terror threats, life in Israel goes on. Singer describes, through a collection of recent columns and new material for this book, how Israelis work and live, how politics is conducted, the role of religion in society, the ups and downs of their economy, how Israelis view their own security needs, insider insights into the peace process with the Palestinian Authority - all through the prism of a state under constant siege. Singer shows us how Israelis cope, how they have gone from the highs of the 1993 Oslo peace accords to the lows of the current Palestinian intifada - and in the process lays out valuable lessons for how Americans might best deal with terrorism in the world after 9/11.
