The Politics and Ethics of Aerial Bombardment
Author: Beau Grosscup
New Pb226 pp.
Subject: Politics
Condition: Good
Publisher: Zed Books
Published: 2006
Strategic Terror is a must read for these highly militarized times. Grosscup shows us that the present day use of indiscriminate bombing with its high casualty rates among civilians has a long troubling history. He puts the "Shock and Awe" strategy of the Iraq war in a context of past colonial and imperial "othering" and convincingly documents how the present "war on terror" is really a war of US terrorism.
