Insightful reports on Southeast Asian Islamism

The Foreign Affairs (Nov/Dec 2009) article The Forgotten Front by US GOP Senator Christopher S. Bond and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lewis M. Simon does offer some very insightful perspectives and also useful observations on Islamist terrorism and insurgency in Southeast Asia. The more detailed and in-depth account of their field works has just been published in a book titled The Next Front: Southeast Asia & the Road to Global Peace with Islam. It is available in KL bookstores.
