Most of us are baffled (a) There is practically no al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. Then why United States is not leaving the opium-rich, strategically vital mountainous country in a hurry (b) Al-Qaeda never attacks Israel though as champion of Islam, you would think the Jewish nation ought to be its first target (c) United States launched "War on Drugs" in 1971. It heralded "War on Terrorism" in 2001. US is no closer to winning these two wars. It is also no closer to quitting them. Since it doesn't take away "goods" from Afghanistan or Iraq, why is it losing thousands of its men, trillions of its dollars. (d) In the Arab world, we hear hourly of Shias and Sunnis tearing each other apart. Yet only a quarter of a century ago, they lived peacefully next to each other. They intermarried freely. Why a lingering animosity betwen the two has become genocidal in nature. (e) Cold War is over. So is Warsaw Pact. Why then NATO is spreading its footprints. Why spend $900 billion when the supposed enemy Russia only has $80 billion military budget. (f) Islamic State (IS) is beheading innocents on videos. How a ragtag bunch has carried on its brutal acts against world's greatest military power's wishes. Funding. Arms. Recruits. Who provides them. "How United States Shot Humanity: Muslims Ruined; Europe Next" traces the roots of the present crisis from the day the Cold War ended. From the Balkan Wars of the 1990s which created the first Muslim state inside Europe--Bosnia and Herzegovina. The former Yugoslavia was broken into weak and puppet states. Lawlessness let the genie of monstrous criminal syndicates out of the bottle. Trafficking, be it of opium, arms, terrorists, prostitution, car-jacking, cigarettes together as a trade became second only to oil and gas. The book looks at the principal actors in this macabre drama; their continuing evil designs, the big picture of impending crisis and the solution which lies decades ahead in the womb of future--if humanity still has one.

About the Author:

Ashish Shukla has a kind of varied background in journalism like few have in India. From newspapers to magazines to websites to television channels, Ashish has done the whole gamut in his over three decades of career. He began with Pioneer newspaper in Lucknow, graduating to Times of India, New Delhi in the 90s and from then on, moving on to India’s top news agency, Press Trust of India, before easing up with a news portal and dabbling in as editor of a national magazine. His reporting assignments took him all over the world, many times over, before he caught the digital TV bug and became associated with a number of national television channels, including Channel 7 (today’s IBN7), Aajtak and India TV, and appearing as expert from Zee TV to NDTV to Star News to Headlines Today among others. His write-ups have appeared in nation's top magazines such as Outlook. He has also been associated with a number of international radio and television stations, including BBC and ABC. Not that Ashish Shukla stayed put in any of these attractive hubs for long. The restless him has now turned into an author. After writing a biography on Sachin Tendulkar--“the Masterful,”--he now has undergone a complete metamorphosis and produced a scholarly work, “How United States Shot Humanity: Muslims Ruined; Europe Next.” It’s an ambitious work which became part of his every breath for two years and took him on several visits around the world. As of now, he swears he would only write books and do little else.
