Opis

Weapon of Peace will be of much interest to policymakers, journalists, missionaries, human rights activists, people of faith and anyone interested in the intersection of religion and government. It will also appeal to those interested in terrorism, political violence, human rights, democratization, current affairs and international relations generally.

Recenzje

'The argument displays a mastery of the research literature, is very clearly and systematically delivered, and is fairly original - at least in its scope. Everyone with an interest in terrorism should read this book.' Lorne L. Dawson, Political Science Quarterly
