Radically different from other struggles covered by the
international laws of war, the war on terrorism continues to create
new legal challenges and grave moral dilemmas for the free world.
Democracies are increasingly faced with balancing security against
civil liberties, human rights, and the rule of law. In his new book
The Struggle of Democracy against Terrorism, Emanuel Gross examines
the legal and moral complexities democracies face when dealing with
terrorism. Drawing on his own experience as a former judge in the
Israeli military courts, Gross compares the experiences of the
United States, Israel, and the United Kingdom, providing a broad
picture of the dangers posed by the measures these democracies use
to combat terrorism.
Particularly critical of the U.S. Patriot Act, Gross outlines
what he argues to be the three cornerstones of Israel's experience
with terrorism applicable to other democracies. On this platform,
he bases his examination of the various laws that apply to a
democracy's fight against terrorism, providing sharp and
wide-ranging analysis that will be of great use to citizens and
governments worldwide. Both provocative and informative, The
Struggle of Democracy against Terrorism will appeal to students and
teachers of law, political science, and philosophy, as well as to
citizens and activists concerned with the impact of terrorism on
civil liberties.
