Weapon of the Strong analyses the forms of US terrorism through exclusive interviews with leading commentators and theorists, including Noam Chomsky, Richard A.Falk, Norman Finkelstein, Judith Butler, Gilbert Achcar and many more. The interviews explore the different aspects of state terrorism: its functions, institutional supports and legal and moral arguements surrounding it. Looking at case studies from South America, Europe and the Middle East, this book is an indispensable introduction to Terrorism and a damning critique of US foreign policy.
