NEW AND NOTEWORTHY
Ali's new book challenges the underlying assumptions of the "War on Terrorism" and claims that it is basically a clash of fundamentalisms, no doubt, a take on Samuel Huntington's popular work, A Clash of Civilizations. Two other books that have been added to the list are both controversial. The first is Noam Chomsky's 9-11 and Gore Vidal's Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace. Chomsky's book stirred Christopher Hitchen's to challenge Chomsky's logic in a review in The Nation. Vidal could not find a publisher and The Nation finally published Vidal's analysis of the events which surrounded 9-11. All of the books have been added to the bibliography on July 18, 2002. Check them out at your local bookstore or library. Students are encouraged periodically to read, or at least, glance at the New York Review of Books and the New York Times Book Review for new and noteworthy books that are available on terrorism or related topics.
