Summary: Terrorism, Freedom, and Security: Winning Without War
Comment: This is one of the more thoughtful and insightful books among the plethora published on terrorism since the cataclysm of 9/11. Heymann's analysis departs from the Bush administration's approach by rejecting its mistaken characterization of terrorism as a conventional war. Instead, he provides a sober assessment of the dynamics of terrorism as a prerequisite to devising effective responses. He reminds readers that terrorism is the weapon of the powerless, and forceful action against them is likely to increase their anger and commitment to violence. Finally, Heymann (law, Harvard Univ.) warns about the dangers that a protracted "war on terror" poses to democratic liberties and the US position of world leadership. He argues for the need of a broader range of US politics, i.e.--strengthening intelligence gathering and analysis capabilities, effective diplomacy to promote multilateral cooperation; respect for international law; and strategic choices that reflect moral leadership based on the values of American democracy. This is a compelling book in asserting that the US can successfully confront the threat of terrorism without being an autocratic "intelligence state." ^BSumming Up: Highly recommended.
