Reviews

'The book is a major contribution to our understanding of peace movements and pacifism after 11 September. While most people tend to take the importance of 11 September for granted, the book challenges the general understanding of the development and implications of the events... In addition, the philosophical, religious and theoretical discussion enriches peace research scholarship.' -- Jian Yang, New Zealand International Review
