<i>An End to Evil</i> charts the agenda for what's next in the war on terrorism, as articulated by David Frum, former presidential speechwriter and bestselling author of <i>The Right Man,</i> and Richard Perle, former assistant secretary of defense and one of the most influential foreign-policy leaders in Washington. <br><br>This world is an unsafe place for Americans—and the U.S. government remains unready to defend its people. In <i>An End to Evil,</i> David Frum and Richard Perle sound the alert about the dangers around us: the continuing threat from terrorism, the crisis with North Korea, the aggressive ambitions of China. Frum and Perle provide a detailed, candid account of America's vulnerabilities: a military whose leaders resist change, intelligence agencies mired in bureaucracy, diplomats who put friendly relations with their foreign colleagues ahead of the nation's interests. Perle and Frum lay out a bold program to defend America—and to win the war on terror. <br><br>Among the topics this book addresses: <br><br>• why the United States risks its security if it submits to the authority of the United Nations <br>• why France and Saudi Arabia have to be treated as adversaries, not allies, in the war on terror <br>• why the United States must take decisive action against Iran—now<br>• what to do in North Korea if negotiations fail<br>• why everything you read in the newspapers about the Israeli-Arab dispute is wrong <br>• how our government must be changed if we are to fight the war on terror to victory—not just stalemate <br>• where the next great terror threat is coming from—and what we can do to protect ourselves <br><br><i>An End to Evil</i> will define the conservative point of view on foreign policy for a new generation—and shape the agenda for the 2004 presidential-election year and beyond. With a keen insiders' perspective on how our leaders are confronting—or not confronting—the war on terrorism, David Frum and Richard Perle make a convincing argument for why the toughest line is the safest line.<br><br><br><i>From the Hardcover edition.</i>
