The Dark Side of the Crescent Moon constitutes a historical and political analysis of the growth of radical Islam throughout the world. It shows how the spread of radical Islam in Europe drove the United States and Russia to become allies of necessity, in order to confront a shared danger. Georgy Gounev provides readers with a detailed assessment of the people, countries, and global movements that factor into Islam's mounting threat.

From the evolution and history of radical Islam to the role of the United States and Russia in the rise of Islam, the author lays out the factors contributing to this global phenomenon. Taking the reader from Chechnya and Kosovo, to Sudan and Somalia, to Afghanistan and Iraq, Gounev explores the motivations that lurk beneath the surface of active conflict, and extend the threat to the shores of Britain, Russia, and even the United States. He illuminates the vast network that is actively transmitting the political and religious dogma of radical Islam. Casting a cold eye on the theocratic fundamentalism emanating from Iran and Saudi Arabia, Gounev sounds an alarm about a growing threat both outside and inside our borders.

Review

-Gounev opens new and interesting perspectives. . . . A good overview of the complex relationship between the western world and Russia, especially with regard to the question how to deal with the global threat of political Islam. . . . It is wise to listen carefully to the insight of this East European who knows well the centuries of domination of his home country by the Ottoman Empire. History will tell whether the development of the various scenarios will be as inevitable as described by Gournev.-

This book outlines the radical Islam attempts to take over the world. It is well written with exhaustive research to validate the facts given. Let's one know that if we are not following the role of the Radical Islam groups we will be in trouble in years to come.

The author has done a remarkable job of analyzing the historical and political significance of the growth of Radical Islam throughout the world and particularly in Europe. The book is incredibly timely with the current threat of ISIS. All students of political science, Mid East Studies, history and current events should read this valuable book.

The Dark Side of the Crescent Moon

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2011

Verified Purchase

The Dark Side of the Crescent Moon is an historical/political/current events analysis of the growth of radical Islam throughout the world. It deals with how the growth of radical Islam in Europe could affect the relationship between the United States and Russia and how they may become allies as a result of this dangerous growth.

Chapter 7 is an exceptional chapter that deals with the recent history of Iran and how it became a theocratic-totalitarian radical Islam country.

I would recommend this book to all people interested in the dangers of radical Islam and the possible scenarios for the US and Russia - all people interested in the survival of Western Civilization.

A valuable and informative read.

Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2014

With deep knowledge and keen analysis of the current Middle East crisis, Dr. Gounev reveals to us the hidden historical facts and how the Superpowers contributed to the emergence of "radical Islam." This book should be mandatory reading for our policy makers to open their eyes to the reality of the imminent danger we are facing.
