    <![CDATA[ New paperback edition highlights Sharanskys relationship with evangelicals.   An established best seller now available to CBA audiences.   Built-in pro Israel community will embrace Sharansky and his shared ideals.   Special introduction for Christian audiences written by Sharansky.    Sharansky, the famous Soviet dissident who spent a decade in gulags, has authored his vision for defeating terrorists worldwide: launching a flood of democratic initiatives, especially in totalitarian regimes.    This book, which gained the attention of President Bush and his administration, outlines Sharanskys strategies  based on personal experience  for making the world a safer place. Sharansky explains that the public square test, which states that an individual knows he is free if he can go to his citys public square and say whatever he wants, is the bedrock Western right that can find traction in dictatorships.    Christian audiences will appreciate Sharanskys discussions of life in Israel, and his thesis here is critical to understanding and overcoming this generations enemies.]]>

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;Who is better prepared to confront challenges and defend principles in a volatile modern world? Those with strong national, religious, ethnic, or tribal identities who accept democracy, or democrats who renounce identity as a kind of divisive prejudice?<br/><br/>  Natan Sharansky, building on his personal experience as a dissident, argues that valueless cosmopolitanism, even in democracies, is dangerous. Better to have hostile identities framed by democracy than democrats indifferent to identity.<br/><br/>  In a vigorous, insightful challenge to the left and right alike, Natan Sharansky, as he has proved repeatedly, is at the leading edge of the issues that frame our times.&lt;/div&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[If the history of the twentieth century can be seen as a successful struggle to expand personal freedoms, then the history of the twenty-first century will be seen as a contest to assert cultural, ethnic, or religious identities. From the crisis in Europe where identity is seen as inimical to democratic freedoms, to the threats to identity posed by postmodern relativism and Marxism, to the corrosive dullness of identity-less cosmopolitanism, Sharansky conducts a philosophical tour of nations, regions and cities whose futures rest precariously on the struggle for identity. His purpose throughout is to recover this most valuable and essential political emotion, one that can reaffirm and underpin democratic societies. Together, identity and democracy assert a powerful and benign sense of purpose; divided, at odds with each other, they invite fundamentalism and rootlessness.]]>

Her photos are poignant, touching, and emotional; yet they are sensitive, tasteful, and filled with the hope, despair, courage and conviction of the people on the front lines. For anyone who feels we must never forget, this is the book.]]>
