""Collateral Damage: The Psychological Consequences of America's War on Terrorism" goes beyond other books which focus on terrorist tactics to consider the long-term psychological impact of terrorism on this country. From the increased stereotyping of an prejudice against foreigners in general and Arabs in particular to increases in domestic hate crimes and depression, militancy and anger, "Collateral Damage" examines national reactions to terrorism as a whole and is essential for any in-depth college-level military or social science collection." -

Kurzbeschreibung
Colour-coded terrorism 'alerts' are issued, then lifted with no explanation. False alarms can, like crying 'wolf,' desensitise people to a real need to be on alert. And that psychic numbing is just one effect discussed in this book by fifteen psychologists who have teamed up to provide a critical look at the U.S. 'war on terrorism.' These experts are led by the Chairman of the American Psychological Association task force charged with pinpointing the effect of anti-terrorism efforts on American mental health. Together, they present the most up-to-date and intriguing picture we have of the fallout on the U.S. people from their government's programmes. The text spotlights stereotyping of foreigners; increased domestic hate crimes; fear, depression and helplessness; and increasing militancy and belligerence, especially among students. Perhaps most disturbing in the 'land of the free,' there is a growing acceptance of restrictions on personal freedoms, and acceptance of human rights violations. Contributors to this collection aim to provide a reality check, looking at what forms American reactions to terrorism have taken, how those reactions have affected the psyche of the U.S. population, and whether this has made the U. S.A. stronger or weaker, and more or less likely to be the target for future attacks.

An excellent portrait of the terrorized
9. Juni 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This is a book which consists of essays by academic psychology professors which portray all the bad effects that fighting against terrorist organizations which have attacked the U. S. can have on the American people. Nothing is said about these attacks because the entire focus is on the bad effects fighting such a war will have on the populace. The fact of the matter is that--quite unintentionally, I'm sure--these authors have recorded what dhimmitude looks like up close and it ain't pretty. These people's own psychology shows us just how terrorists intend their use of terror to work. Everything focuses on how wrong it is to fight terrorists, which comes down to arguing in favor of giving in to terror and instead indicting the very U. S. administration that was engaged in fighting these people. The real evil is--of course--the administration of George W. Bush, and the real perps are American citizens who refuse to be terrorized. Watch out--liberals academic and otherwise are already the the "fifth column" within this country, and this book is an excellent introduction to the kind of betrayal that the Islamist terrorists are trying to induce in America. I give the book three stars because of its usefulness in delineating the enemy of America within America.
