As with the original Team B analysis, how-ever, this study challenges the assumptions underpinning the officialline in the conflict with today’s totalitarian threat, which is currentlyeuphemistically described as “violent extremism,” and the policies ofco-existence, accommodation and submission that are rooted inthose assumptions.Special thanks are due Clare Lopez, whose efforts to trans-form the Team B II members’ various individual contributions into aseamless and powerful report are deeply appreciated.1 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
