After the 9/11 Commission concluded in 2004 that the U.S. was engaged in a war with terrorists and never realized it, they reasoned that “a failure of imagination” had prevented us from seeing terrorism coming. In effect, Americans were simply unable, or in fact disabled, to fathom that there were people who hated and opposed our democracy with such ferocity. But after billions of dollars and almost a decade fighting a war in the Middle East, will we miss the threat again? With penetrating insight and candor, Walid Phares, Fox News terrorism and Middle East expert and a specialist in global strategies, argues that a fierce race for control of the Middle East is on, and the world’s future may depend on the outcome. Yet not a failure of imagination, but rather, of education has left Americans without essential information on the real roots of the rising Jihadi threat. Western democracies display a dangerous misunderstanding of precisely who opposes democracy and why. In fact, the West ignores the wide and disparate forces within the Muslim world—including a brotherhood against democracy that is fighting to bring the region under totalitarian control—and crucially underestimates the determined generation of youth feverishly waging a grassroots revolution toward democracy and human rights. As terror strikes widen from Manhattan to Mumbai and battlefields rage from Afghanistan to Iraq, many tough questions are left unanswered, or even explored: Where are the anti-Jihadists and the democrats in the Muslim world? Does the Middle East really reject democracy? Do the peoples of the region prefer the Taliban, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Hezbollah over liberals and seculars? And is there really no genuine hope that freedom and democracy can prevail over the Islamist caliphate? Phares explores how the free world can indeed win the conflict with the Jihadists, but he says, not by using the tactics, policies, and strategies it has employed so far. He urges policy makers to first identify the threat and define its ideology, or there will be no victory. The Coming Revolution is a vital corrective step in the world’s war against terrorism and essential reading that clearly and explosively illustrates the untold story of a struggle to determine if the Middle East can at last reach freedom in this century—or if this planet can prevent the otherwise inevitable outcome that could change our social and political landscape forever. The race is on.

People need a creed and a cause, and today millions of patriotic Americans are finding their voices. They say the best indicator of the future is history. How things have been can be a powerful signal of how they will be. But what will be our role in shaping the future for this country? In The Coming Revolution Dr Richard G. Lee powerfully explains that a new revolution is coming. It may be in the streets of our nation’s capitol—as we saw in Europe last year—or, better yet, in voting booths across America. Signs from our nation’s past and present ring out the truth: a second American revolution is near at hand. Using this country’s rich heritage of liberty and democracy as a roadmap toward where we could be headed, Dr. Lee brings thoughtful clarity to the ever-growing probability of such a revolution in America; illuminating the important reminder that the voices of every revolution have been—and always will be—the ordinary everyman. Discover how you can be a part of this country’s social, political, and moral reform and how faith in God serves as the one truth that can provide both individual and national guidance for America’s next revolution. “A powerful reminder about why America is great and worth fighting for.” —Lt. Colonel Oliver L. North, USMC (Ret.) “Within this book Dr. Richard Lee clearly reveals how the intolerable conditions being forced upon the American people by Washington’s current administration will lead to a certain and powerful explosion of predictable consequences.” —Michael Reagan

Excerpt: ... city-tracts, whether for office, business or dwelling purposes, the corporation would furnish a convenient and equitable means of joint ownership and joint enterprise. Free access to the soil, together with the free use of wealth to utilize it (as secured by the proper reform of inheritance and of the monetary system), would thin the ranks of wage-earners. This relief from their necessitous condition, as well as the opportunity afforded for independent undertakings, would make employment itself free and wages just. Nor would there be any danger from over-production. The result would rather be that the poor would live in plenty, while at the same time their burdens would be lightened. The fierce struggle for wealth will be abated when men shall be released from the awful fear and mastery of want. CHAPTER IX. MONEY. The scarcity of money, and the exorbitant interest exacted for its use, are questions of the gravest and most frequent concern to- society. The merchant's counters may be filled with goods, the farmer's granaries may be full to bursting, and labor stand anxious to barter its services in exchange for these supplies. But while each has got what the other needs and wants, simple barter is impracticable. Money is required to set this wealth moving; without it exchange is impossible. Labor must be paid in money; the farmer must receive money for his products; the merchant must receive money for his goods. With money alone can each in turn satisfy his creditors; with money alone can each purchase the wherewithal to supply his wants. Yet there is a constant recurrence of the dearth of money. The farmer cannot sell his products, the merchant cannot sell his goods, labor cannot dispose of its commodity because of the scarcity of money....
