Reviews
'The US-defined war on terror has shaped international and intercultural relations in the past decade. This essential and engaging book examines a hitherto ignored aspect of this global and open-ended war: namely the nexus between media and intelligence services and between terror and torture in democratic societies. Highly recommended.'Daya Thussu, University of Westminster, UK'In this innovative and insightful exploration of the crucial agenda-setting battles over torture during the war on terror , Vian Bakir shows the different ways in which battles between strategic political communication and citizen sousveillance have played out in key American and British cases. A sophisticated contribution to the literature.'Martin Shaw, Institut Barcelona d'Estudis Internacionals, Spain, University of Roehampton,UK and Emeritus Professor University of Sussex, UK
