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. 606 $aWar$xSimulation methods 606 $aWar games 606 $aImaginary wars and battles 606 $aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aMilitary-industrial complex$zUnited States 606 $aMass media$zUnited States 606 $aWar in mass media 606 $aMass media and war$zUnited States 606 $aWorld politics$y1989- 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 615 0$aWar$xSimulation methods. 615 0$aWar games. 615 0$aImaginary wars and battles. 615 0$aWar$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aMilitary-industrial complex 615 0$aMass media 615 0$aWar in mass media. 615 0$aMass media and war 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a355.02 700 $aDer Derian$b James$01670951 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811087403321 996 $aVirtuous war$94033137 997 $aUNINA
