Undoubtedly timely and full of fascinating detail, "Sword of Islam" is a thorough, well-researched, and revealing account of global Islamic terrorism. This book supplies the answer to the question that has been on the minds of all Americans since September 11: Why do they hate us? Murphy makes it clear that as the chief backer of Israel, the United States is seen by extremists as the evil power behind the hated 'Zionist enemy'. But he also emphasises that in the final analysis we are the only country with the power to bring these attacks to a halt.
