I am optimistic that peace can be achieved in the region because I believe that every society on earth can be free and that if freedom comes to the Middle East, there can be peace. – Natan Sharansky
I was inspired to write this book by those who are sceptical of the power of freedom to change the world. – Natan Sharansky
The three main sources of scepticism are first, that not every people desires freedom second, that democracy in certain parts of the world would be dangerous and third, that there is little the worlds democracies can do to advance freedom outside their countries. – Natan Sharansky
By helping readers understand these mechanics, I hope they will appreciate why freedom is for everyone, why it is essential for our security and why the free world plays a critically important role in advancing democracy around the globe. – Natan Sharansky
