Long before George W. Bush declared a "war on terror", Phil Rees had begun infiltrating the world's most inaccessible political resistance groups, seeking to understand their real motivations and to place them in the context of global events. Now he brings his experiences together in a polemical and timely investigation of what the word "terrorist" actually means -- and how dangerous a weapon it can be.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Featuring a brand new chapter on 7/7, this fiercely intelligent expose is the culmination of twenty years' research. By infiltrating the most inaccessible political resistance groups, hardened reporter Phil Rees has sought to understand what motivates the `terrorist or `freedom fighter and to weigh this against current world events and the sweeping power of US military might. In his discussions with groups in such diverse countries as Colombia, Algeria, Kosovo, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Iran, Lebanon, France, Cambodia and Ireland, Rees seeks to pierce the propaganda, to discover the human story behind the faceless, hooded caricature, and to test our preconceptions of just what the word terrorist actually means. 'His account should trouble anyone who believes Washington's enemies in the war on terror are easily identified' Newsweek 'The most exhaustive expose of the ideas of the Noam-Chomsky/Michael-Moore school . . . he is a good reporter and a congenial gourmet' Sunday Telegraph.
