The book contains a wealth of transcripts and media sources, including Channel Four's coverage of 9/11 and the rhetorical pronouncements of leading politicians. Beginning with the state of 'war' created after the September 11th attacks, Price follows the strategic adjustments begun during the Iraq adventure, and includes reference to the modifications in policy carried out during the Obama Presidency. Students of media, film and journalism will find this book an invaluable resource for the study of power, rhetoric, and mediation. 606 $aWar 606 $aMediation, International 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aPower (Social sciences) 606 $aDiscussion 606 $aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar. 615 0$aMediation, International. 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aPower (Social sciences) 615 0$aDiscussion. 615 0$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009. 700 $aPrice$b Stuart$01044508 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456416503321 996 $aBrute reality$92470214 997 $aUNINA
