Mr. Feoktistov has been published in the Washington Times, the Federalist, the Times of Israel, Breitbart, the Daily Caller, American Thinker, and Front Page Magazine.

Reviews

"A frightening portrait of the terrorist threat we face in our homeland, and of the progressive enablers and deniers who make it possible. A must read." -David Horowitz "'Boston, Boston, Boston, what a town to get lost in,' the old song goes. But as Ilya I. Feoktistov shows in this highly compelling book, this most liberal of cities, the birthplace of our democracy, has now become a shelter for the most disturbing jihadism." -Roger L. Simon "For a generation, the government, the media, and the academy have told Americans to ignore the catalyst of jihadist terror, as if the threat were the resulting brutality rather than the animating ideology. Terror in the Cradle of Liberty is Ilya I. Feoktistov's spellbinding account of how the Boston Marathon bombing is the result of this willful blindness." -Andrew C. McCarthy, New York Times bestselling author of Willful Blindness, The Grand Jihad, and Ball of Collusion
