'This is quite simply the most profound book to have been written on the subject of American foreign policy since the attacks of 9/11 -- indeed, since the end of the Cold War' - Niall Ferguson, New York Book Review 'one of the most important works you are likely to read this year ! written with remarkable literary grace' - Rowan Williams, The Daily Telegraph 'Nothing less than a philosophical route-map for the war on terror' - Matthew D'Ancona, The Spectator

Reseña del editor:

Terror and Consent argues that, like so many states and civilizations in the past that suffered defeat, we are fighting the last war, with weapons and concepts that were useful to us then but have now been superseded. Philip Bobbitt argues that we need to reforge links that previous societies have made between law and strategy; to realize how the evolution of modern states has now produced a globally networked terrorism that will change as fast as we can identify it; to combine humanitarian interests with strategies of intervention; and, above all, to rethink what 'victory' in such a war, if it is a war, might look like.
