In The Next Front, co-authors Senator Christopher Bond  and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Lewis M. Simons argue that the Obama administration can reverse the devastating effects of failed policies throughout the Islamic community in Southeast Asia by adopting a new "smart power" approach, one that combines the "soft" tools of diplomatic, economic and personal outreach with the fallback "hard" option of military force.  By so doing, the United States can begin to reverse the growth of Islamic fundamentalism in a region with more Muslims than in the entire Middle East.
