Walberg, a journalist specializing in the Middle East, Central Asia, and Russia, draws on his previous book, From Postmodernism to Postsecularism: Re-emerging Islamic Civilization, to assess Islamic resistance to Western imperialism, discussing terrorism before and after 9/11, the draw of al-Qaeda-type insurgencies, and the reform elements and movements needed in the successful re-emergence of the Islamic alternative. He considers what is left of the historic 1979 upheavals (the Islamic revolution in Iran and the Islamic resistance movement in Afghanistan), whether new forces such as Hizbullah and Hamas are capable of more effectively resisting Western imperialism, how 9/11 fits into Islamic resistance and whether al-Qaeda's long-term project is still on track, whether offshoots like ISIS are legitimate resistance movements, and what conclusions can be drawn from the Arab Spring.
