Musulmonų archipelagas

Ši knyga buvo kuriama daug metų, kaip savo pratarmėje aiškina autorius, nors didžiąją dalį tikrojo teksto parašė eidamas Strateginio žvalgybos tyrimų centro vyresniojo mokslo bendradarbio metus.. Autorius ilgus metus buvo Jungtinio karinio žvalgybos koledžo Žvalgybos studijų mokyklos dekanas.. Nors gali pasirodyti, kad knygą galėjo parašyti bet kuris geras istorikas ar Pietryčių Azijos regiono specialistas, this work is illuminated by the author’s more than three decades of service within the national Intelligence Community. His regional expertise often has been applied to special assessments for the Community. With a knowledge of Islam unparalleled among his peers and an unquenchable thirst for determining how the goals of this religion might play out in areas far from the focus of most policymakers’ current attention, the author has made the most of this opportunity to acquaint the Intelligence Community and a broader readership with a strategic appreciation of a region in the throes of reconciling secular and religious forces.
