Presenting the reader with provocative articles that critically
examine the morality of the war on terrorism as it has evolved over
the past eight years, this book consists of articles that
effectively address specific aspects of the war on terrorism that
are missing or underrepresented in ethical discourse since 9/11.
The book includes a mix of article types: theory, lecture,
research, battlefield journalism, investigative reporting, as well
as excerpts from international law and a military leadership
manual.
"Terror and terrorism are today parts of our human condition. But
as opposed to certain others, some called "experts on terrorism,"
who in their pre-enlightenment ways only talk about evil and hatred
and war on terrorism, Webel in the best tradition of our
civilization tries to understand the phenomenon. And in doing so he
also examines terrorism by the state, like the terrorist killing of
tens of thousand in Dresden.The book is a must for those who want
to understand, not only pontificate"--Johan Galtung, Professor of
Peace Studies, Director TRANSCEND
"Charles Webel has provided a stunning analysis of terror in terms
of its psychological, social, and political impact. He also has
important important ideas about how to confront it. This is a major
work that forces us to deal with our fears and the politicians who
prey upon them." --Stephen Eric Bronner, Rutgers University
