Publisher's Synopsis
'The Dawn of a New Ideology' proffers the theory that in a world of duality, where everything must have an opposing force to sustain its own existence, the West fostered the growth of Islamism as the Cold War came to an end and Communism began to decline. It deals with viewpoints, insights, stories seen and heard, and analyses the behaviour and interests of nations. Though there are obvious differences between the fanatic, the ideologue, the religious fundamentalist, the nationalist, the communist and the Nazi, it is yet true that there is a certain fanatical ideology that animates them all and that may be viewed and treated as one. The same is true of the force which drives the ambitions of certain ideologies on to expansion and world domination. It is necessary for most of us these days to have some insight into the motives and responses of the religious and communist ideologies. And so it is hoped that this book may offer some such insights and explanations.
