Review :
"This book is so valuable because it brings together specialists in fields that rarely meet--: applied ethics, human security, narrative, and journalism as well as empirical studies of 'terrorism.' All point to the obvious conclusion that our current militarized approach to countering 'terrorism' is failing. The authors convincingly explore more realistic alternatives: ethical plans with proven success for promoting peace and human security." - Ira Chernus, author of Monsters to Destroy: The Neoconservative War on Terror and Sin "Containing a rich variety of critical analyses and examples of conscientious reportage, this anthology peels back layers of conventional wisdom and lays bare the darker side of our increasingly militarized and covert security paradigm. Its impassioned pleas for impartial, non-violent solutions to today's geopolitical conflicts are welcome counterpoints to the steady drumbeat of counterterrorism warfare." Mark Rigstad, associate professor and chair of Philosophy, Oakland University
