"In Preachers of Hate, bestselling author Kenneth R. Timmerman shows how Middle Eastern and global anti-Semitism has exploded into a war on America-threatening our values, our freedoms, and our lives. In 1982, Timmerman was taken hostage by terrorists in Lebanon and held for 24 days. In 1998, he wrote the first major profile of Osama bin Laden, entitled, ""This Man Wants You Dead."" Now-with Islamic terrorism fully exposed as the greatest threat to liberty in the post-cold war world-Timmerman sheds light on the true source of the conflict: an entrenched and far reaching anti-Semitism that is the ideological basis of the terrorists' war on America. Now, as America reasserts its role in the Middle East, Preachers of Hate is an essential book that reframes a very complicated issue as a matter of life and death."
