Download or read book Force of Words written by Joseph Brown and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Terrorist groups attain notoriety through acts of violence, but threats of future violence are just as important in attaining their political goals. Force of Words is a groundbreaking examination of the role of threats in terrorist strategies. Joseph M. Brown shows how terrorists use threats, true and false, to achieve key outcomes such as social control, economic attrition, and policy concessions. Brown demonstrates that threats are integral to terrorism on a tactical level as well, distracting security forces, drawing police into traps, and warning civilians out of harm’s way when terrorists seek to limit casualties. Force of Words reorients the field of terrorism studies, prioritizing the symbolic, psychological dimension that makes this form of conflict distinctive. It expands the study of terrorist propaganda by detailing how militants tailor their threats to send the desired political message. Drawing on rich interview data, quantitative evidence, and case studies of the IRA, ETA, the Tamil Tigers, Shining Path, the Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, Boko Haram, the Afghan Taliban, and ISIL, the book offers practical guidance for interpreting terrorists’ threats and assessing their credibility. Force of Words is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the logic of terrorism.

Download or read book War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning written by Chris Hedges and published by PublicAffairs. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: General George S. Patton famously said, "Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God, I do love it so!" Though Patton was a notoriously single-minded general, it is nonetheless a sad fact that war gives meaning to many lives, a fact with which we have become familiar now that America is once again engaged in a military conflict. War is an enticing elixir. It gives us purpose, resolve, a cause. It allows us to be noble. Chris Hedges of The New York Times has seen war up close -- in the Balkans, the Middle East, and Central America -- and he has been troubled by what he has seen: friends, enemies, colleagues, and strangers intoxicated and even addicted to war's heady brew. In War Is a Force That Gives Us Meaning, he tackles the ugly truths about humanity's love affair with war, offering a sophisticated, nuanced, intelligent meditation on the subject that is also gritty, powerful, and unforgettable.

Book excerpt: "Little by little we are discovering these days that words are extremely powerful, so powerful that they can literally change our lives-for good or for bad. Words, if rightly used, can become a creative force that will shape your future. The words we speak can affect those who hear them, for good or for bad, and the words we hear others speak, likewise, can do us good or ill. Because of this, for our own welfare and the welfare of our families and friends, we must realize the importance of what we speak and how we speak it. And, in the same way, we must realize the importance of who we listen to, who we allow to sow into our lives. "There are so many words from so many people in our world today that are not worth listening to. Worse, if we listen to them, we inevitably become confused and discouraged and stop striving to fulfill our dreams and hopes for the future. This is exactly what the enemy of your soul wants, and this is his work. "So what can we do? You and I must make a conscious decision to guard our tongues and our ears, to listen only to what is for our personal benefit and to speak only words that will benefit others. I know that this can be challenging in our modern world, but I am convinced that it is necessary if we are to succeed." Lucien C. Rojas Brooklyn, New York
