Finale Endnotes Bibliography Index About the AuthorReviews!A remarkable book explaining in poignant fashion why we are unable to marshal the necessary emotional resources to compete against the challenge of radical Islam. For anyone interested in the civilizational struggle we find ourselves in, this book is essential reading. -- London, Herbert I. !Brilliantly exposes and analyzes the true factors at work that have led the American body politic to engage in massive self-deception, refusing to recognize the extent of the threat of radical Islam. Siegel dissects and articulates the true reasons why we have, wittingly and unwittingly, turned a blind eye to the magnitude of the three different levels of threat posed by Islamism as described here. I consider this book so critically important that it holds a key to our survival as a free society.

The Control Factor powerfully unfolds this process of self-delusion and the struggle to remove the scales we've placed over our eyes. Survival of the West's freedom culture -- our commitment to critical inquiry based ordered liberty and human reason -- hangs in the balance. -- McCarthy, Andrew C. ...A remarkable book explaining in poignant fashion why we are unable to marshal the necessary emotional resources to compete against the challenge of radical Islam.
