Chapter 10 About the Author
In the long war of our time—against the Islamists' terror and their push for the world-wide imposition of shariah—we have so far failed to organize our government to win the crucial battle for mankind's minds and hearts. John Lenczowski gives us a brilliantly conceived and innovative strategy to win this war just as we won the Cold War. Look out, Muslim Brotherhood-here comes LibForAll.

Dr. John Lenczowski brings the full force of a distinguished career in foreign policy and academia to the vitally important issues of American diplomacy in our troubled era. With the keen eye of both a practitioner and a grand strategist, he shows how our lack of appreciation for the influence culture that results from using a wide range of diplomatic tools has hindered American interests. But he goes beyond mere complaints to specific solutions—in areas ranging from public diplomacy to counterintelligence to cultural influence, Dr. Lenczowski shows how America and the world could benefit from an integrated strategy. This is must reading for foreign policy professionals and engaged patriots alike.

When it comes to public diplomacy, John Lenczowski sees the government as all talk and no action. In this book he gets under the hood and leaves nothing to the imagination. He's got the answers and he's tired of waiting.
