Most accounts reached back twenty years, to U.S. support of Islamist fighters in Afghanistan. But Johnson dug deeper, to the start of the Cold War, uncovering the untold story of a group of ex~Soviet Muslims who had defected to Germany during World War II. As German agents fashioned the group into an anti~Soviet propaganda machine, they naively began a faltering liaison between political Islam and the West that would produce unintended consequences through the Cold War and up to today. And as West German and U.S. intelligence operatives vied for control of this inscrutable but influential Muslim community~with a quiet mosque in Munich at the center of their covert struggle~radical Islam built its first beachhead in the West. Culled from an impressive array of sources, including newly declassified documents, A Mosque in Munich interweaves the stories of several key players: a Nazi scholar turned postwar spymaster; key Muslim leaders across the globe, including members of the Muslim Brotherhood; and naive CIA men eager to fight communism with a new weapon, Islam. A rare ground~level look at Cold War spying and a revelatory account of the West's first, disastrous encounter with radical Islam, A Mosque in Munich is as captivating as it is crucial to understanding the mistakes we are still making in our relationship with Islamists today. "A Mosque in Munich should be read in the corridors of power and by citizens who take a serious interest in the continuing issue of how best to address the challenge posted by political Islamism, in both Europe and the Middle East." ~JEFFREY HERF, author of Divided Memory: The Nazi Past in the Two Germanys.…
