Summary: Total Jihad
Review: Rozenman has written an exciting and timely "what if" novel. In this book, events in the Middle East have advanced well beyond today's headlines: the State of Israel no longer exists except as a few scraps of land grudgingly granted autonomy by the Islamic Republic of Greater Palestine. Warfare has left Israel on its knees.
Out of this new world order has stepped a self-declared warrior of Islam who wants to push events farther along toward Israel's total destruction. He has kidnapped an American woman rabbi, and forces her to debate him over Israel's right to exist before the world via an internationally televised satellite broadcast. Her failure to prevail in this will trigger an act of final destruction.
Israel's allies and enemies, as in the real world, are of all persuasions and stripes. Ultimately, another war comes, and this time there can only be one victor.

Summary: Total Jihad, a prophetic warning
Review: Total Jihad by Eric Rozenman is a timely, confronting and thrilling work of fiction which, we all pray, won't become fact.

Apart from it's being a gripping narrative, Total Jihad should stand as a warning to the world about how events can play out, and how short is our memory of what happens when the world uses Jews as scapegoats. Yet for all its dire warnings of underestimating militant Islam, and the urgent need for moderate Islam to confront the terrorists who are causing it and the rest of the world such mayhem, the novel confronts Europe and the West with the shame of its own recent past.
Rozenman shows that only sixty years after the greatest crime in all of history, western governments are still blind to the dangers of antisemitism as a precursor to global catastrophy.
