The Lesser Evil: Political Ethics in an Age of Terror
Michael Ignatieff
Traces the modern history of terrorism and counter-terrorism, from the nihilists of Czarist Russia and the militias of Weimar Germany to the IRA and the unprecedented menace of Al Qaeda, with its suicidal agents bent on mass destruction. This book shows how the response to terror has been decisive and direct, but restrained.
