Terror and Consent: The Wars for the Twenty-First Century

Almost every widely held idea we have about terrorism is wrong and must be rethought. It is not about religion, nationalism or a 'clash of civilizations'. Instead, we face the death of the nation-state and the birth of frontierless, globally networked 'states of terror' that seek to undermine an entire culture of political consent. In this dramatic and highly acclaimed book Philip Bobbitt tears down our assumptions to show that we are fighting a new kind of war – and how to win it.
