Bill Siegel is a lawyer and business executive who has written "The Control Factor: Our Struggle to See the True Threat". He discusses his inspiration for writing the book, which was spurred by his fascination with Hitler and the Third Reich as a young boy and his studies of Islam after 9/11. Siegel examines how people often avoid confronting difficult truths and find ways to dispel their anxiety about the potential threats facing America and the West. The book is an analysis of our struggle to recognize and confront the true threat, with the author's insights on the history, movements, terrorism, and so on in Islam.
