Why war?

by Philip Smith

Cover of Why war?

'Why War?' decodes the cultural logic of the narratives that justify military action. It offers a completely innovative approach to understanding how major wars are packaged, sold, and understood. There are case studies of the War in Iraq, the Gulf War and the Suez Crisis.
