Vicente Medina challenges common misconceptions and excuses for
extreme political violence. Countering such axioms as "one man's
freedom fighter is another man's terrorist" and the "do whatever it
takes" attitude toward counter-terrorism, Medina differentiates
between justified political violence and unjustifiable terrorism.
Surveying terrorism with both historical and contemporary examples,
Medina dispels the relativism and emotional responses that have
been used by some to justify terrorist acts. Medina draws on
philosophical concepts like just war theory while adding social and
political science perspectives to contextualize today's terrorism
within current international law and moral attitudes.
