Who We Fight

December 2023
1min read

I just finished reading and rereading Ralph Peters’s wonderful essay “Who We Fight” (August/September 2002). I have read much on Islamic fundamentalism but I never felt able to understand the minds of Osama bin Laden and other fundamental extremists until Mr. Peters compared him to Philip II.

We hope you enjoy our work.
