In some parts of the world, it has become rooted in the fabric of society. Westerners often find it difficult to grasp why someone would be willing to sacrifice their life in order to take the lives of others. Suicide Warfare: Culture, the Military, and the Individual as a Weapon provides a thorough examination of the topic that enables readers to understand the justification for suicide warfare and better appreciate how the ideology of the individuals and organizations that resort to suicide warfare greatly complicates security issues in the 21st century.The book covers the policies, strategies, and effects of suicide in war, examining suicide warfare in its entirety from a theoretical standpoint, and then applying those theories to the actual manifestations of and politico-military responses to suicide warfare. The author discusses specific organizations such as Al Qaeda and the Chechen rebels, analyzing each within its societal context, military justification, individual motivation, and outcomes, and addresses principles of sociological and conflict theory to place suicide warfare in a clearer conceptual framework. The book presents case studies that allow readers to better understand abstract theories and make distinctions between individual cases of suicide warfare. 606 $aKamikaze airplanes 606 $aSuicide bombings 606 $aSuicide$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aKamikaze airplanes. 615 0$aSuicide bombings. 615 0$aSuicide$xPolitical aspects. 676 $a355.4/22 700 $aSkaine$b Rosemarie$01492703 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910786141603321 996 $aSuicide warfare$93715349 997 $aUNINA
