This book provides up-to-date coverage of the policies, strategies,
and effects of suicide in war, examining this subject from societal
and military perspectives to shed light on the justifications for
using human beings as expendable weapons. Suicide warfare has
expanded over the years and become a global phenomenon. In some
parts of the world, it has become rooted in the fabric of society.
Westerners often find it difficult to grasp why someone would be
willing to sacrifice their life in order to take the lives of
others. Suicide Warfare: Culture, the Military, and the Individual
as a Weapon provides a thorough examination of the topic that
enables readers to understand the justification for suicide warfare
and better appreciate how the ideology of the individuals and
organizations that resort to suicide warfare greatly complicates
security issues in the 21st century. The book covers the policies,
strategies, and effects of suicide in war, examining suicide
warfare in its entirety from a theoretical standpoint, and then
applying those theories to the actual manifestations of and
politico-military responses to suicide warfare. The author
discusses specific organizations such as Al Qaeda and the Chechen
rebels, analyzing each within its societal context, military
justification, individual motivation, and outcomes, and addresses
principles of sociological and conflict theory to place suicide
warfare in a clearer conceptual framework. The book presents case
studies that allow readers to better understand abstract theories
and make distinctions between individual cases of suicide warfare.
