Udgivelsesår: 2003
Military historian Caleb Carr’s groundbreaking work anticipated America’s current debates on preemptive military action against terrorist sponsor states, reorganization of the American intelligence system, and the treatment of terrorists as soldiers in supranational armies rather than as criminals. Carr’s authoritative exploration demonstrates that the practice of terrorism, employed by national armies as well as extremists since the days of ancient Rome, is ultimately self-defeating. Far from prompting submission, it stiffens enemy resolve and never leads to long-lasting success. Controversial on its initial publication in 2002, The Lessons of Terror has been repeatedly validated by subsequent events. Carr’s analysis of individual terrorist acts, and particularly of the history of the Middle East conflict, is fundamental to a deep understanding of the roots of terrorism as well as the steps and reforms that must be taken if the continuing threat of terrorist behavior is to be met effectively today and, finally, eradicated tomorrow.

Spørgsmål og svar

Er varen ny?

Orderly sælger gode varer fra folk, som ikke selv har tid, lyst eller mulighed for at gøre det. Vores varer er derfor typisk brugte og dermed billigere end nyt. Og så er de bedre for miljøet.

Hvordan vurderer I standen?

Vi vurderer varen ud fra synligt slid og det samlede indtryk. Vi tester ikke elektronik eller tæller brikkerne i et puslespil inden salg. Vi formidler salget mellem køber og sælger. Men er der problemer med en vare, finder vi altid en løsning - med eller uden sælger.

Jeg glemte en ting. Kan jeg tilføje til min ordre?

Ja, det kan du sagtens - helt indtil vi starter pakningen af din ordre. Du laver bare en ny ordre og vælger den eksisterende ordre som levering (hvor du normalt vælger GLS eller afhentning). I sjældne tilfælde kan det dog forlænge leveringstiden med en dag.

TERROR giver et indblik i terroristernes mål og midler. Forfatteren, den prisbelønnede britiske historiker og kommentator Michael Burleigh, fokuserer på den desinficerende vrede og fordrejede moral, som driver terroristerne frem. Han peger på, at volden ofte bliver et mål i sig selv, og at terroristene tit er viklet ind i andre former for kriminallivet. Terrormiljøet er "uden undtagelse moralsk usselt," skriver Burleigh direkte. Type: Hardcover

Terrorens anatomi : en interviewbog (Bog)

59,50 kr.

En kort og bred indføring i moderne terrorisme og dens anatomi belyst gennem interviews med 12 danske og udenlandske eksperter Terrorens anatomi er en bog der går bag om fordomme. I en serie dybdegåendeinterviews forsøger 12 eksperter at belyse den globale terrors strukturer, dens udspring og konsekvenser. Hvorfor er den så svær at inddæmme? Måske kan vi først besvare dette spørgsmål, når vi opgiver ønsket om at forstå terroren ud fra én bestemt optik, men indtænker både krigen mod terror, terrorens struktur og psykologi, og dens forhold til religion og medier. I Terrorens anatomi lader forfatterne de indbudte eksperter tale hinanden imod, så ingen synsvinkler får lov til at dominere bogens kapitler. Der er kun eksperternes viden, deres argumenter og læserens egen dømmekraft. Titel: Terrorens anatomi : en interviewbog Forlag: Rosenkilde Udgivelsesår: 2007 Sider: 237 Sprog: Dansk
