In his revealing new book, bestselling author and former Israeli ambassador to the United Nations Dore Gold explains why the battle for Jerusalem is intensifying. Gold shows why only Israel can preserve its holy places for Christians, Jews, and even Muslims; and why uncovering Jerusalem's past--and the truth of biblical history--can be the key to saving its future.

From the Inside Flap

Jerusalem: Center of Faith--Or Apocalyptic Trigger?

Jerusalem is under assault. In Western diplomatic circles, it is now being argued that by pushing hard for a Middle East settlement, with the redivision of Jerusalem at its core, the flames of radical Islamic rage will be lowered, stemming the tide of al-Qaeda's ideological spread. Yet the exact opposite is true. Radical Islam is fed by its sense of victory in the face of repeated withdrawals: a redivision of Jerusalem would not only endanger its holy sites, but also unleash new jihadist momentum on a scale that most political leaders have not begun to consider.

This review is from: The Fight for Jerusalem: Radical Islam, the West, and the Future of the Holy City (Paperback)

This book should be required reading for every liberal progressive. Dore's well researched book very nicely puts all the left-leaning and politically correct lies into the trash bin where it belongs. That's why this book and others like it ruffles feathers: it's well-documented.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a friend of Israel, and who loves truth.
