Description

HOW TERRORISM IS WRONG
Morality and Political Violence..
The book compares terrorism with other kinds of violence, such as
war or the maintenance and enforcement of a political and legal order
that often kill far more people, including children, than do terrorist
acts. It scrutinizes popular attitudes that glorify some kinds of violence
and vilify others. It moves beyond the widespread but distorted picture
of mystifyingly unexpected terrorist attacks that arise from nowhere, as
well as of appropriate (or inappropriate) responses, and considers such
events in the wider contexts of various regional and global confl icts. It
looks at earlier political violence to achieve social change.
