Mass media are essential to democratic society; in contrast, the
War on Terror has been interpreted as an assault on democracy and
freedom by Islamic fundamentalists. The building and maintenance of
public support is essential in modern warfare due to the increasing
politicization of warfare, where losses and gains are measured in
political rather than military terms. And if progress cannot be
demonstrated during a war, then by default one is assumed to be
losing. Greg Simons tackles the complicated yet essential role of
mass media in society. Taking the Global War on Terror as a prime
example, the author adopts a multidisciplinary approach to analyze
the various facets of war and the role of the media within it.
Assessing in particular the Russian fight against terrorism, this
book provides a broader perspective and understanding of
contemporary struggles.
