Product Review
"The great value of Mr. Iklé's book: to make us consider the worst." -- Walter Laqueur, The Wall Street Journal
""
"[ Annihilation from Within] should be on every Pentagon reading list." -- Austin Bay, Washington Times
"A book that should be read by every serious citizen, especially those responsible for our national security." -- R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr., American Spectator
Product Review
"With an engrossing interpretation of our history since the Modern Age, Fred Iklé explains this new era where the survival of leading nations will be threatened from within." -- Henry A. Kissinger
Reader Reviews
The scenarios painted by Iklé are disturbing; they bear all too similar a resemblance to those from Vernor Vinge's science fiction novel, "Rainbows End", with the exception that current governments are not at all prepared to cope with a world in which small fringe groups can obtain WMD. It was even more of a surprise to realize that the scenario behind the graphic novel and movie "V" is precisely that described by Iklé: covert internal use of WMD by political extremists so that they can can power in the ensuing chaos. But Iklé's analysis is harder to discount than movies, comic books, or novels. An unexpected gem from the "Annihilation" is Iklé's portrayer of Ronald Reagan, who had the reputation as a war monger, as someone who abhored the risks inherent in a policy of Mutual Assured Destruction. My biggest complaint is that, despite its short length, the book is very repetitive.
