Michael Arthur Ledeen (born August 1, 1941) is an American historian, foreign policy analyst, and author with a Ph.D. in philosophy. He is a former consultant to the United States National Security Council, the United States Department of State, and the United States Department of Defense. He held the Freedom Scholar chair at the American Enterprise Institute where he was a scholar for twenty years and now holds the similarly named chair at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. His doctoral dissertation eventually became Universal Fascism: The Theory and Practice of the Fascist International, 1928-1936, first published in 1972. Ledeen's political views developed to stress "the urgency of combating centralized state power and the centrality of human freedom". In the early 1980s, Ledeen appeared before the newly established Senate Subcommittee on Security and Terrorism, alongside former CIA director William Colby, author Claire Sterling and former Newsweek editor Arnaud de Borchgrave. Both Ledeen and de Borchgrave worked for the Center for Strategic and International Studies at Georgetown University at the time. All testified that they believed the Soviet Union had provided for material support and training for various terrorist groupings. The war against the terror masters is a riveting guide to the terrorist crisis. Michael A. Leeden explains in startling detail why the United States was so unprepared for the September 11 catastrophe; the nature of the terror network we are fighting--including its state sponsors; the role of radical Islam; the enemy collaboration of some of our traditional Middle Eastern "allies"; and, most convincingly, what America must do to win the war. An examination of the rise of the international terror networks, and the past and current efforts of our intelligence services to destroy the terror masters in the U.S. and overseas, Ledeen's book also visits countries in the Near East and describes the terrorist cancer cells in each. Revelations include: how the terror network survived the loss of its main sponsor, the Soviet Union; how the FBI learned from a KGB defector--twenty years before Osama bin Laden's murderous assault on September 11--of the existence of Arab Terrorist sleeper networks inside the United States, and much more. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Ledeen, a member of the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute and a former National Security Council consultant, persuasively details the links between several regimes and terrorist groups, and castigates previous presidents (particularly Bill Clinton) for discounting the terrorist threat and tolerating the complacency and bungling of U. S. intelligence agencies. His theory of terrorism is that the "terror masters" are "tyrants" who loathe America because of its "existence" as a symbol of freedom. Ledeen urges the United States to help the citizens of terrorist states overthrow their despotic rulers, he warns that to do so-i.e., to be ready for war-Americans must give up their faith in "radical egalitarianism" and "the perfectibility of man" in favor of Machiavellian principles. Many readers will applaud Ledeen's hard-nosed demand to "reconcile our democratic values with the necessity of imposing our will," but a few others may think the adjustment is too great.
