Reviews
'Brilliant, mind-opening stuff.' * The Independent, chosen as one of David Crystal's best books of 2007 *
'This powerful collection of essays is at the same time both a radical and traditional examination of the politics of terror. Radical in that it presents terrorism as a complex phenomenon rooted in real life experience-best understood and combated by open minds with the support of fully-briefed populations .And traditional in that it expects political leaders to tell the truth about terror insofar as they can-and that to exploit the fears of the public for political gain is as counter-productive as it is currently widespread.' * Crispin Black, former Cabinet Office Intelligence Analyst and author of 7-7 The London Bombings: What Went Wrong? *
'An extraordinary collection of original, penetrating and compellingly written essays, Playing Politics with Terrorism: A User's Guide challenges all our assumptions about the relationship between democracy and terrorism. An eye-opener of a book on the world after 9/11.' * Jessica Stern, Harvard University, author, The Ultimate Terrorists *
