It's said that the first casualty in a war is truth, as both sides jostle to defend their positions.

The book also contains first-hand accounts from the front lines. Some BBC correspondents, such as Ben Brown and Gavin Hewitt, were "embedded" with US and British troops; they provide unique snapshots of combat and the hazards of reporting through the "fog of war".

	BURKE, JASON Al-Qaeda : The True Story of Radical Islam Penguin. 2004. (ISBN: 0141019123) Soft Cover, B Format. â€˜Al-Qaedaâ€™ is now the most over-used and misunderstood word in the media â€“ a term imposed on a wide variety of Islamist groups by the FBI in the early 1990s. In Arabic, it is simply an abstract noun, meaning â€˜resourceâ€™, â€˜networkâ€™ or â€˜baseâ€™. In the West, it symbolises the greatest threat to global security: though its Afghan training camps have now been reduced to dust, no one believes that al-Qaeda was destroyed with them. But what is al-Qaeda? Is it a disciplined, motivated, structured terrorist organisation led by a single criminal mastermind or something far more complex, diffused and sinister? Bin Ladenâ€™s aim to provoke conflict between militant Islam and the West appears closer to fulfillment than ever. But is al-Qaeda the catalyst of this conflict, or merely a symbol of it? Burke shows how the threat from Islamic terrorism comes not from one man, or even one group but from a broad movement with profound roots in the politics, societies and history of the Islamic world. Working hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents, he demonstrates that â€˜al-Qaedaâ€™ is a convenient label applied misleadingly to a giant, diverse and disorganised global movement dedicated to fighting a cosmic battle with the West, and that Osama bin Laden, far from being the worldâ€™s most dangerous criminal, is a peripheral figure in modern Islamic militancy. Eradicating any single terrorist or terrorist group will do little to end the threat. The volunteers and terrorists who sought out bin Laden and his associates wanted help in realising their own dreams of destruction. The reasons they did so persist throughout the Islamic world. Failing to understand al-Qaeda is failing to address those reasons. We do so at our peril. New/New.

	CARTER, JIMMY Palestine : Peace Not Apartheid Simon & Schuster. 2007. (ISBN: 0743285026) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. The crowning achievement of Jimmy Carter's presidency was the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, and he has continued his public and private diplomacy ever since, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his decades of work for peace, human rights, and international development. He has been a tireless author since then as well, writing bestselling books on his childhood, his faith, and American history and politics, but in Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, he has returned to the Middle East and to the question of Israel's peace with its neighbors--in particular, how Israeli sovereignty and security can coexist permanently and peacefully with Palestinian nationhood. It's a rare honor to ask questions of a former president, and we are grateful that President Carter was able to take the time in between his work with his wife, Rosalynn, for the Carter Center and Habitat for Humanity and his many writing projects to speak with us about his hopes for the region and his thoughts on the book.

	DAVIES, PETE This England Abacus. 1998. (ISBN: 0349109397) Soft Cover, B Format. Chris McCafferty is the Labour candidate for the Calder Valley. The incumbent conservative MP is Sir Donald Thompson. She works at the Well Woman Clinic, he wants to eat beef and hang people. In the 1997 General Election, it is seats like this one that either herald a "New Labour Britain" or produce more of the same. The author follows these two very different politicians in the lead-up to the election in a markedly divided borough - from the remote, broke Todmorden, to Brighouse with its brass band and blue-rinse Tories. In the upper valley, red posters decorate the windows of every house, yet behind are places where "if you put a blue ribbon on a pig they'd vote for it". He gauges the mood of the voters; do they vote with their wallets? Do they think voting makes any difference?. Good/Good.

	DILLON, MICHAEL Politics of Security, The: Towards a Political Philosophy of Continental Thought London, United Kingdom, Routledge. 1996. (ISBN: 0415129605) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. In this critique of security studies, with insights into the thinking of Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, Levinas and Arendt, Michael Dillon contributes to the rethinking of some of the fundamentals of international politics, developing what might be called a political philosophy of Continental thought. Drawing on the work of Martin Heidegger, Politics of Security establishes the relationship between Heidegger's radical hermeneutical phenomenology and politics and the fundamental link between politics, the tragic and the ethical. It breaks new ground by providing an etymology of security, tracing the word back to the Greek asphaleia (not to trip up or fall down), and a unique political reading of Oedipus Rex . Michael Dillon traces the roots of desire for security to the metaphysical desire for certitude, and points out that our way of seeking that security is embedded in 20th century technology, thus resulting in a global crisis. The Politics of Security will be invaluable to both political theorists and philosophers, and to anyone concerned with international relations, continental philosophy or the work of Martin Heidegger.

	DUNANT, SARAH; TROY, PETER The Age of Anxiety Virago. 1997. (ISBN: 1860493084) Soft Cover, B Format. As the end of the 20th century approaches, the idea that the future necessarily equals progress has sustained philosophical criticism. As technology expands choices, it also serves to diminish our sense of control. Combined with the insecurity of global economics, the threat of family breakdown, and increased fear of crime and violence, a population which finds it difficult to endure the present - let alone the future - is produced. The essays in this volume, by prominent writers and thinkers including Susie Orbach, Linda Grant and Oscar Moore, consider whether this anxiety is justified and how we can prevent ourselves being frightened of the millennium. Not all are optimistic about life in the future, but all assert the world as a place worth fighting for. Good/Good.

	FARRELL, MARY Eu and Wto Regulatory Frameworks: Complimentarity or Competition United Kingdom, Kogan Page Ltd. 1999. (ISBN: 0749429968) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. This text charts the development of the World Trade Organization, and examines its role as regulator of the international trading system. It considers whether the WTO is likely to impose constraints on EU commercial policy and thereby impinge on the sovereignty of the union as a whole, or whether the EU may continue to operate independently and in co-existence with the trade liberalization agenda of the WTO. Divided into six parts, the text looks at the history of GATT from the initial accord of 1947, examines the substantive provisions of the Uruguay Round and identifies the distinct features of the WTO. It then goes on to detail the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism, the position of the EU within the GATT/WTO framework and the constraints and opportunities for continued use of commercial diplomacy by the European Union. Finally, the text offers some reflections on the trade negotiation agenda in the 21st century. As New/As New.

	FREEDEN, MICHAEL Ideologies and Political Theories : A Conceptual Approach Oxford. 1996. (ISBN: 0198275323) Hard Cover, 165 x 240mm. Synopsis Ideologies play a crucial role in the way we understand and shape the political world. But no one has yet satisfactorily explained the nature of ideologies themselves. Michael Freeden here offers a ground-breaking approach to the subject. Drawing on the political experience of Britain, France, Germany, and the USA over the past two centuries, the author provides an in-depth examination of the key political ideologies: liberalism, conservatism, socialism, feminism, and green political thought. He outlines a powerful and sophisticated new theory of ideologies, arguing that by paying special attention to the complexity, conceptual inter-relationship, and historical and contemporary context of ideologies we can both better understand them and reinvigorate the study of political theory.

Synopsis Contrary to the usual image of the press as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in its search for truth, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky depict how an underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news. They skilfully dissect the way in which the marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news. They reveal how issues are framed and topics chosen, and contrast the double standards underlying accounts of free elections, a free press, and governmental repression between Nicaragua and El Salvador; between the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the American invasion of Vietnam; between the genocide in Cambodia under a pro-American government and genocide under Pol Pot. What emerges from this groundbreaking work is an account of just how propagandistic our mass media are, and how we can learn to read them and see their function in a radically new way. Good/Good.

An introductory chapter discusses the concept of globalization and summarises the main arguments for and against it. There then follow four sections, covering: the recent historical background to contemporary world politics; the details of the main theories that offer explanations of world politics; the structures and processes of world politics; and the main issues of contemporary world politics. Each chapter is written by a leading specialist in the field, and uses diagrams, boxes, and discussion points extensively. extremely reader-friendly student text. Each chapter has a guide to further reading and ends with a series of questions. New/New.

	BURKE, JASON Al-Qaeda : The True Story of Radical Islam Penguin. 2004. (ISBN: 0141019123) Soft Cover, B Format. â€˜Al-Qaedaâ€™ is now the most over-used and misunderstood word in the media â€“ a term imposed on a wide variety of Islamist groups by the FBI in the early 1990s. In Arabic, it is simply an abstract noun, meaning â€˜resourceâ€™, â€˜networkâ€™ or â€˜baseâ€™. In the West, it symbolises the greatest threat to global security: though its Afghan training camps have now been reduced to dust, no one believes that al-Qaeda was destroyed with them. But what is al-Qaeda? Is it a disciplined, motivated, structured terrorist organisation led by a single criminal mastermind or something far more complex, diffused and sinister? Bin Ladenâ€™s aim to provoke conflict between militant Islam and the West appears closer to fulfillment than ever. But is al-Qaeda the catalyst of this conflict, or merely a symbol of it? Burke shows how the threat from Islamic terrorism comes not from one man, or even one group but from a broad movement with profound roots in the politics, societies and history of the Islamic world. Working hundreds of interviews and thousands of documents, he demonstrates that â€˜al-Qaedaâ€™ is a convenient label applied misleadingly to a giant, diverse and disorganised global movement dedicated to fighting a cosmic battle with the West, and that Osama bin Laden, far from being the worldâ€™s most dangerous criminal, is a peripheral figure in modern Islamic militancy. Eradicating any single terrorist or terrorist group will do little to end the threat. The volunteers and terrorists who sought out bin Laden and his associates wanted help in realising their own dreams of destruction. The reasons they did so persist throughout the Islamic world. Failing to understand al-Qaeda is failing to address those reasons. We do so at our peril. New/New.

	CARTER, JIMMY Palestine : Peace Not Apartheid Simon & Schuster. 2007. (ISBN: 0743285026) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. The crowning achievement of Jimmy Carter's presidency was the Camp David Accords between Israel and Egypt, and he has continued his public and private diplomacy ever since, winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his decades of work for peace, human rights, and international development. He has been a tireless author since then as well, writing bestselling books on his childhood, his faith, and American history and politics, but in Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, he has returned to the Middle East and to the question of Israel's peace with its neighbors--in particular, how Israeli sovereignty and security can coexist permanently and peacefully with Palestinian nationhood. It's a rare honor to ask questions of a former president, and we are grateful that President Carter was able to take the time in between his work with his wife, Rosalynn, for the Carter Center and Habitat for Humanity and his many writing projects to speak with us about his hopes for the region and his thoughts on the book.

	DAVIES, PETE This England Abacus. 1998. (ISBN: 0349109397) Soft Cover, B Format. Chris McCafferty is the Labour candidate for the Calder Valley. The incumbent conservative MP is Sir Donald Thompson. She works at the Well Woman Clinic, he wants to eat beef and hang people. In the 1997 General Election, it is seats like this one that either herald a "New Labour Britain" or produce more of the same. The author follows these two very different politicians in the lead-up to the election in a markedly divided borough - from the remote, broke Todmorden, to Brighouse with its brass band and blue-rinse Tories. In the upper valley, red posters decorate the windows of every house, yet behind are places where "if you put a blue ribbon on a pig they'd vote for it".

	DILLON, MICHAEL Politics of Security, The: Towards a Political Philosophy of Continental Thought London, United Kingdom, Routledge. 1996. (ISBN: 0415129605) Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. In this critique of security studies, with insights into the thinking of Heidegger, Foucault, Derrida, Levinas and Arendt, Michael Dillon contributes to the rethinking of some of the fundamentals of international politics, developing what might be called a political philosophy of Continental thought. Drawing on the work of Martin Heidegger, Politics of Security establishes the relationship between Heidegger's radical hermeneutical phenomenology and politics and the fundamental link between politics, the tragic and the ethical. It breaks new ground by providing an etymology of security, tracing the word back to the Greek asphaleia (not to trip up or fall down), and a unique political reading of Oedipus Rex . Michael Dillon traces the roots of desire for security to the metaphysical desire for certitude, and points out that our way of seeking that security is embedded in 20th century technology, thus resulting in a global crisis. The Politics of Security will be invaluable to both political theorists and philosophers, and to anyone concerned with international relations, continental philosophy or the work of Martin Heidegger.

	DUNANT, SARAH; TROY, PETER The Age of Anxiety Virago. 1997. (ISBN: 1860493084) Soft Cover, B Format. As the end of the 20th century approaches, the idea that the future necessarily equals progress has sustained philosophical criticism. As technology expands choices, it also serves to diminish our sense of control. Combined with the insecurity of global economics, the threat of family breakdown, and increased fear of crime and violence, a population which finds it difficult to endure the present - let alone the future - is produced. The essays in this volume, by prominent writers and thinkers including Susie Orbach, Linda Grant and Oscar Moore, consider whether this anxiety is justified and how we can prevent ourselves being frightened of the millennium. Not all are optimistic about life in the future, but all assert the world as a place worth fighting for. Good/Good.

	FARRELL, MARY Eu and Wto Regulatory Frameworks: Complimentarity or Competition United Kingdom, Kogan Page Ltd. 1999. (ISBN: 0749429968) Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall. This text charts the development of the World Trade Organization, and examines its role as regulator of the international trading system. It considers whether the WTO is likely to impose constraints on EU commercial policy and thereby impinge on the sovereignty of the union as a whole, or whether the EU may continue to operate independently and in co-existence with the trade liberalization agenda of the WTO. Divided into six parts, the text looks at the history of GATT from the initial accord of 1947, examines the substantive provisions of the Uruguay Round and identifies the distinct features of the WTO. It then goes on to detail the WTO's dispute settlement mechanism, the position of the EU within the GATT/WTO framework and the constraints and opportunities for continued use of commercial diplomacy by the European Union. Finally, the text offers some reflections on the trade negotiation agenda in the 21st century. As New/As New.

	FREEDEN, MICHAEL Ideologies and Political Theories : A Conceptual Approach Oxford. 1996. (ISBN: 0198275323) Hard Cover, 165 x 240mm. Synopsis Ideologies play a crucial role in the way we understand and shape the political world. But no one has yet satisfactorily explained the nature of ideologies themselves. Michael Freeden here offers a ground-breaking approach to the subject. Drawing on the political experience of Britain, France, Germany, and the USA over the past two centuries, the author provides an in-depth examination of the key political ideologies: liberalism, conservatism, socialism, feminism, and green political thought. He outlines a powerful and sophisticated new theory of ideologies, arguing that by paying special attention to the complexity, conceptual inter-relationship, and historical and contemporary context of ideologies we can both better understand them and reinvigorate the study of political theory.

	HERMAN, EDWARD S.; CHOMSKY, NOAM Manufacturing Consent : The Political Economy of the Mass Media Vintage. 1995. (ISBN: 0099533111) Soft Cover, 12mo - over 6Â¾" - 7Â¾" tall. Synopsis Contrary to the usual image of the press as cantankerous, obstinate, and ubiquitous in its search for truth, Edward Herman and Noam Chomsky depict how an underlying elite consensus largely structures all facets of the news. They skilfully dissect the way in which the marketplace and the economics of publishing significantly shape the news. They reveal how issues are framed and topics chosen, and contrast the double standards underlying accounts of free elections, a free press, and governmental repression between Nicaragua and El Salvador; between the Russian invasion of Afghanistan and the American invasion of Vietnam; between the genocide in Cambodia under a pro-American government and genocide under Pol Pot. What emerges from this groundbreaking work is an account of just how propagandistic our mass media are, and how we can learn to read them and see their function in a radically new way. Good/Good.
