See on toestisundinud lugu Anna Sundbergist, noorest healjarjel keskklassi rootsi naisest, kes liitub dzihadistidega ja jaab nendega16 aastaks. Tema lugu saab alguse 1994. aastal uksikust salafistidegrupeeringust Rootsis. Naine jargneb oma abikaasale, kelle USA kuulutab hiljemulemaailmselt tagaotsitavaks terroristiks, ning satub nii Tsetseeniasasuvasse salajasse treeninglaagrisse kui ka Bashar al-Assadi vanglasusteemi.Anna Sundbergi tunnistus on erakordne ja seda ka rahvusvahelises plaanis. Islamoli esialgu naise jaoks taiesti uus viis maailma tolgendada. Ta oli volutudkenadest usule puhendunud meestest, keda nais huvitavat rohkem naiste sisemineilu kui valjanagemine. Ent Anna Sundberg pigistas silmad kinni paljudeselliste asjade ees, mis oli meeste kaitumises ebainimlikku ja isegikuritegelikku. Vaid moned mehed, ja peaaegu mitte ukski naine, on julgenud voi saanudavalikult raakida dzihadistide igapaevaelust. Lugu, mille Anna raamatukaasautori Jesper Huori abil esitab, on korraga intrigeeriv ja hirmutav. See ontema tee ekstremismi ja sealt valja. Ta soovib oma jutustusega naidata, et omaelu on voimalik muuta ja inimesed ei pea elama salaparase plekiga omaminevikus. „Ma tahan, et mu lapsed voiksid olla minu ule uhked, et julgesinseda teha,” kirjutab Anna.

This is the first comprehensive study of the core philosophical questions posed by terrorism such as: How should we define it? Is it morally distinctive? Can it be morally justified? Igor Primoratz seeks to overcome relativism and double standards that often plague debates about terrorism. He investigates the main ethical approaches to terrorism: in terms of its consequences, rights and justice, “supreme emergency,” and the collective responsibility of citizens. The book provides a rigorous, yet accessible analysis of a range of moral positions, from the acceptance of terrorism when its consequences are good on balance to its absolute rejection. Primoratz argues that terrorism is almost absolutely wrong. It may be morally justified only when an entire people is facing a true moral disaster, and this should be understood in a highly restrictive way. Conceptual analysis and normative arguments about the practice of terrorism are complemented with case studies of terror-bombing of German cities in World War II and the role of terrorism in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Terrorism: A Philosophical Investigation will be essential reading for researchers and students of philosophy and politics, and the general reader seeking to understand and evaluate acts and campaigns of terrorism.

Terrorism has emerged as one of the most problematic issues facing national governments and the international community in the 21st century. But how is it possible to counter terrorism in a world in which governance is still dominated by the nation-state? Are we seeing new forms of terrorist activity in the wake of 9/11? Are pre-9/11 approaches still valid? How can we combat and control diverse threats of multiple origin? Who should be responsible for countering terrorism and in what circumstances? In this incisive new book, Ronald Crelinsten seeks to provide answers to these pressing questions, challenging readers to think beyond disciplinary and jurisdictional boundaries. He presents an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the difficulties and obstacles related to countering terrorism in democratic societies. The counterterrorism framework that he develops in this book reflects the complex world in which we live. The different approaches to counterterrorism provide the organizing theme of the book and help the reader to understand and to appreciate the full range of options available. The book: includes a host of contemporary examples and further readings; compares and contrasts pre- and post-9/11 approaches; critically evaluates the post-9/11 ‘war on terror'; moves beyond a purely state-centric focus to include non-state actors and institutions; combines hard and soft power approaches; considers prevention, preparedness, response and recovery. Counterterrorism will be an indispensible guide for students, researchers, practitioners and general readers wanting to broaden their knowledge of the possibilities and limitations of counterterrorism today.

„Spioon, kes paases kulma kaest” on inglise ponevuskirjaniku John le Carre (snd 1931) kolmas romaan, millest sai parast ilmumist kohe bestseller.

Romaan jalgib Suurbritannia salaluure ja Saksa DV Abteilungi vahelist julma, kuid haaravat kassi-hiire mangu ajal, mil Euroopat lahutas raudne eesriie ja Berliini muur.
