Terrorism and War
by Howard Zinn
New interviews conducted since the tragic events of September 11 and the bombing campaign against Afghanistan, TERRORISM & WAR provides Zinn's most up-to-date thinking on war, terrorism, and the new global order. Truth, Zinn shows us, has indeed been the first casualty of war, starting from the beginnings of American empire in the Spanish-American War. But war has many other casualties, he argues, including civil liberties on the home front and human rights abroad. In TERRORISM & WAR Zinn explores the growth of the American empire, as well as the long tradition of resistance in this country to U.S. militarism, from Eugene Debs and the Socialist Party during World War One to the opponents of U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan today. Howard Zinn may be America's most articulate historian of the Left, whose life-long study of the purposes and outcomes of war has been among his most luminous contributions to our ongoing democratic conversation. Formerly a bombardier in World War Two, Zinn has spent decades contrasting the rhetoric governments use to justify wars and the reality of their impact, especially on the civilians who are increasingly the victims of military conflicts.
9-11
by Noam Chomsky
In 9-11 Noam Chomsky dissects the root causes of the September 11th catastrophe, the historical precedents for it, and the possible outcomes as the United States responds with its "new war on terrorism." For Chomsky, the atrocities of 9-11 "are something quite new in world affairs, "marking the first time since 1812 that the U.S. mainland was attacked (an important distinction from Pearl Harbor, which was U.S. territory, but effectively a colony). As Chomsky writes, "in the past half century particularly, [the U.S.] resorted to force throughout much of the world. For the first time, the guns have been directed the other way. That is a dramatic change." Chomsky believes that the attacks have been harmful in ways that extend far beyond the initial death toll and ongoing national emergency. For example, he believes they represent "a devastating blow" to Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Most importantly and provocatively, Chomsky argues that in the world after 9-11, it is no longer possible to hold our enemies to one standard, ourselves to another. Chomsky argues for an international rule of law; existing bodies such as the U.N. and World Court must be given credence and then relied upon. "React with extreme violence," he writes, "and expect to escalate the cycle of violence, leading to still further atrocities such as the one that is inciting the call for revenge." But if the goal is to reduce the probability of further atrocities, then rather follow lawful procedure, presenting the evidence and letting independent world bodies direct the appropriate response. As for why the attack happened, Chomsky writes that "this question is rarely raised in a serious way." And he adds, "To refuse to face this question is to choose to increase significantly the probability of further crimes of this kind." In 9-11, Noam Chomsky’s comments on the September 11th attacks, the new war on terrorism, Osama bin Laden, U.S. involvement with Afghanistan, media control, and the long-term implications of America’s military attacks abroad. Informed by his deep understanding of the gravity of these issues and the global stakes, 9-11 demonstrates Chomsky’s impeccable knowledge of U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and South Asia, and sheds light on the rapidly shifting balance of world power. Speaking out against escalating violence, Chomsky critically examines the United States’ own foreign policy record and considers what international institutions might be employed against underground networks and national states accused of terrorism. 9-11's analysis will affect debate for months to come, and will also be a measure of how well the media is able to serve its role of informing the citizenry, so crucial to our democracy in times of war.

The Idea of Prostitution
by Sheila Jeffreys
A new analysis which challenges the idea of prostitution as sexual liberation. The idea that this book explores is that of men's entitlement to abuse and profit from the abuse of women in prostitution. The Idea of Prostitution shows how this idea, central to male supremacist ideology, has been bolstered by masculine systems of thought such as sexology, sociology, historiography and queer theory. The feminist challenge to this idea has become more difficult in recent times because sexual liberalism, economic individualism and free choice ideas have persuaded even some feminists that prostitution should be seen as "just a job like any other". Jeffreys argues that it is important to recognize men's abuse of women in prostitution as a variety of male sexual violence and a violation of women's human rights.
