For a time, the IsraeliùArab conflict came to be seen as an argument over real-estate and recognition. In recent years, however, this longstanding dispute has returned with renewed force and broadened dimensions ù assuming the form of an existential battle between Israel and radical Islam. Today, Israel faces a rising force committed to its demise.

Jonathan Spyer provides a vivid account of what can now be called the Israel-Islamist conflict, outlining the issues at stake and gauging each side's relative strengths and weaknesses. Israel faces not one united Islamist movement, but au array of states and organizations that share a wish to destroy Jewish sovereignty. Combining narrative and argument, Spyer uses first-person accounts of key moments in the conflict to highlight the human impact of this battle of wills. A thought-provoking, balanced work, The Transforming Fire provides a new understanding of particular aspect of the larger conflict between radical Islam and the West, which may well become the key foreign policy challenge of the 21st century.
