Dr Reuven Berko is a former senior intelligence officer, Middle East expert, and scholar of radical Islam. In this intense and uncompromising conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti, Berko exposes the ideological and strategic threats posed by radical Islam – not only to Israel, but to all of Western civilisation.
From Tehran to Paris, Berko outlines how jihadist ideology and political weakness are colliding, and why Europe is in danger of sleepwalking into cultural extinction. With vivid examples from his intelligence work, he challenges liberal illusions, confronts the reality of religious warfare, and warns that survival now depends on rediscovering national strength, identity, and pride.
