Responding to the rapid growth of personal narrative as a method of
inquiry among qualitative scholars, Bud Goodall offers a concise
volume of practical advice for scholars and students seeking to
work in this tradition. He provides writing tips and strategies
from a well-published, successful author of creative nonfiction and
concrete guidance on finding appropriate outlets for your work. For
readers, he offers a set of criteria to assess the quality of
creative nonfiction writing. Goodall suggests paths to success
within the academy--still rife with political sinkholes for the
narrative ethnographer--and ways of building a career as a public
scholar. Goodall's work serves as both a writing manual and career
guide for those in qualitative inquiry.

Complementing and extending scholarship in three areas - terrorism;
the media, mediated representations, and propaganda in contemporary
culture; and the political and diplomatic environment post-9/11 -
this book articulates the role of human communication in the «war
of ideas. Drawing on contemporary research from a variety of
disciplines, this book offers analyses and recommendations for
people to make use of informed, inspired, and ethical communication
to counter ideological support for terrorism and to promote more
effective public diplomacy. This is the first book to apply human
communication concepts and theories - and to offer potential
solutions - to the communication problems encountered by nations,
communities, and individuals, and in doing so moves beyond
critiques of failed U.S. communication campaigns and strategies in
the «war on terror.

In scenes eerily parallel to the culture of fear inspired by our
current War on Terror, A Need to Know explores the clandestine
history of a CIA family defined, and ultimately destroyed, by their
oath to keep toxic secrets during the Cold War. When Bud Goodall's
father mysteriously died, his inheritance consisted of three
well-worn books: a Holy Bible, The Great Gatsby, and a diary. But
they turned his life upside down. From the diary Goodall learned
that his father had been a CIA operative during the height of the
Cold War, and the Bible and Gatsby had been his codebooks. Many
unexplained facets of Bud's childhood came into focus with this
revelation.The high living in Rome and London. The blood-stained
stiletto in his jewelry case. Bud, as a child, was always told he
never had "a need to know." Or did he? Now, as an adult and a
university professor, Goodall attempts to fill in the missing
pieces of his Cold War childhood by uncovering a lifetime of family
secrets. Who were his parents? What did his father do on those
business trips when he was "working for the government?" What
betrayal turned a heroic career of national service into a
nightmare of alcoholism, depression, and premature death for both
of his parents? Slowly, inexorably, Goodall unearths the chilling
secrets of a CIA family in A Need to Know. 2006 Best Book Award,

Goodall portrays a world caught up in the middle of a narrative
arms race, where the message of the political right has outflanked
the message of the political left. It is a world where narratives
used by the far right inch ever closer to those employed by
right-wing extremists in the Muslim world. Rather than dismiss the
use of political narratives as a shallow tactic of the opposition,
Goodall promotes their usefulness and outlines a number of ways
that liberal academics can retake the public discourse from the
extremist opposition. This is an essential text for the aspiring
public intellectual and will appeal to students and scholars of
qualitative methods, communications and media, and political
science alike.
