Product Description: Contemporaries and historians have found it difficult to interpret the ambiguous relationship between National Socialism and Christianity. Both the Catholic and Protestant Churches tended to agree with National Socialists in their authoritarianism, their attacks on socialism and communism, and their campaign against the Versailles Treaty; but the doctrinal position of the Churches could not be reconciled with the principle of racism, a foreign policy of unlimited aggressive warfare, or a domestic agenda involving the complete subservience of Church to State...read more

After 9/11 the US response to Al-Qaeda - the Global War on Terror - was heavily influenced by the âclash of civilizationsâ theory. First introduced by Bernard Lewis in 1993 in an article entitled âThe Roots of Muslim Rageâ, this theory was taken up by Samuel Huntington in his famous book The Clash of Civilizations: Remaking of World Order in 1996. After the end of the Cold War global conflict will not be economic or ideological but cultural and religious. âThe clash of civilizationsâ, Huntington wrote, âwill dominate global politics. The fault lines between civilizations will be the battle lines of the future.â This theory of global conflict proved enormously influential with neoconservatives in the US and heavily influenced contemporary US and UK policy. Richard Bonneyâs controversial new book takes as its subject Huntingtonâs âclash of civilizationsâ thesis and looks at the history of this so-called struggle of civilizations before it came to prominence in the twenty-first century. It identifies the twenty-first-century proponents of the thesis, such as Bernard Lewis and Daniel Pipes, their links to the Bush government, and their roles in exploiting this tradition of hostility between the West and Islam.
