by Rachel Ehrenfeld, Ph.D
The tentacles of terrorism have reached deep into America, threatening to make Osama bin Laden’s dream of destroying the American economy a reality. As the United States spends billions upon billions more trying to fend off another 9/11-type attack, terrorist groups grow wealthier, and thus more capable of financing large-scale missions of murder and mayhem.
Funding Evil, by terrorism expert Rachel Ehrenfeld Ph.D, uncovers the clandestine and sinister ways that Islamic terrorist groups finance their global network. From innocent-looking American businesses that serve as fronts for terrorism to joint efforts with established groups in organized crime, terrorists have grown increasingly savvy in ways to bolster their financial power. Dr. Ehrenfeld’s investigation also details how these undetected billions are spent to methodically bring about chaos and destabilization in American society.
“In Funding Evil, a meticulous and most readable work, Rachel Ehrenfeld has done all serious students of this long war in which we are engaged a great service – by following the money. A number of shibboleths are done serious damage, [and] you will find substantial evidence that will shake your beliefs.”
R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence 1993-1995
“Rachel Ehrenfeld has written a meticulously researched and compellingly presented account of the interplay between terrorism, drug trafficking, money laundering and the bank rolling of extremists who live, work, steal, conceal and wage holy war for one purpose: killing Americans. This brilliant book has a simple message: if we fail to understand them and how they operate, they will win.”
Richard Perle, Resident Fellow, The American Enterprise Institute
“Rachel Ehrenfel’s book is comprehensive, sobering, and timely. She not only identifies the lifeline of terrorists everywhere, but also reveals the steps necessary to sever them. Her book is a must-read for everyone who holds democracy dear.”
Yoram Hessel, Former Senior Mossad Officer
