Description

Fighting Terror analyzes the ethical dilemmas that confront everyone in the war on terror.  Arguing that this is as much a war of ideas as it is a military struggle, Alex Bellamy argues that fighting morally is essential in distancing the terrorized from the terrorists.  The book starts by setting out the case for thinking ethically about the war on terror and demonstrates the immorality of terrorism. Covering everything from torture to bombing, assassination to post-war reconstruction, Bellamy uses a series of fascinating case studies to examine how morally terror is being fought across the world.  Though, he claims, there is a good case for combating terrorism, the way this is being done is ethically deeply troubling.
