James Der Derian takes the reader from a family history of war and genocide to new virtual battlespaces in the Mojave Desert, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and American universities. He tracks the convergence of cyborg technologies, video games, media spectacles, war movies, and do-good ideologies that produced a chimera of high-tech, low-risk ‘virtuous wars’.In this newly updated edition, he reveals how a misguided faith in virtuous war to right the wrongs of the world instead paved the way for a flawed response to 9/11 and a disastrous war in Iraq. Blinded by virtue, emboldened by technological superiority, seized by a mimetic terror, the US blundered from one foreign fiasco to the next.Taking the long view as well as getting up close to the war machine, Virtuous War provides a compelling alternative to the partisan politics, instant analysis and technical fixes that currently bedevil US national security policy.WarSimulation methodsWar gamesImaginary wars and battlesWarMoral and ethical aspectsMilitary-industrial complexUnited StatesMass mediaUnited StatesWar in mass mediaMass media and warUnited StatesWorld politics1989-United StatesMilitary policyWarSimulation methods.War games.Imaginary wars and battles.WarMoral and ethical aspects.Military-industrial complexMass mediaWar in mass media.Mass media and warWorld politics355.02Der Derian James1670951MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910811087403321Virtuous war4033137UNINA
