The characteristic act of men at war is not killing. It is killing
by committing shocking and unspeakable atrocities, when
circumstances permit. What drives ordinary people into hatred,
genocide, inhumanity and evil? What turns friends and neighbours
against each other with such savagery? Where does such barbarity
come from? This collection examines the anarchy, cruelty and
overwhelming confusion of modern warfare. In particular it
analyzes: c what happens when morality vanishes from the
battlefield and why torture is endemic in modern warfare; c how
human rights, in times of war, lose meaning as a set of principles;
c whether official propaganda and enemy demonization make barbaric
behaviour easier; c how we can develop cultures opposed to torture
that damage the legitimacy of our societies. Through a wealth of
case studies that have been carefully selected in terms of their
themes, approaches and methodologies, this comprehensive volume
provokes discussion and enhances understanding from a variety of
disciplinary perspectives.
