Myers believes that America has misidentified its adversary, focusing too narrowly on tactical battles instead of on a long-range strategy that will overcome a global insurgency. Rather than mandate what Islam should become, we must work with an international community that includes responsible non-Western states to protect against the behaviors we consider universally unacceptable--especially those that promote violence against the U.S. and its allies. Finally, Myers maintains we must integrate our own government agencies so that we can focus a sustained approach to this strategy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold with unfailing honesty, \u003ci\u003eEyes on the Horizon \u003c\/i\u003eis an unforgettable memoir of one of our nation's highest-ranking officers and a courageous call for change that will strengthen American national security and defend a democratic way of life.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeneral Richard B.
