Since
the events of September 11, 2001, the propaganda uses of the word
"terrorism" have multiplied, and it has never been clearer that
one person's terrorist is another's freedom fighter. The No-Nonsense
Guide to Terrorism looks at debates about September 11 and the response
to it, but also gets behind the causes and contexts of both group
terrorism and state terrorism.
Author
Jonathan Barker provides a historical sketch as well as current
examples from the Middle East, Latin America, Europe and Asia. He
guides readers through the moral and political theories and highlights
the battle of images and ideas that accompanies them. Analyzing
the dynamics of terrorism, Barker scrutinizes the war on terror
and its fateful consequences for democracy.
"This
book is an excellent contribution to our understanding of the issues
... it should be required reading for any western security analyst,
policy adviser or politician concerned in any way with responding
to the events of 11 September 2001." Paul
Rogers,
Professor of Peace Studies, Bradford University, UK
