Review: "This book brings together the thoughts of 15 leading philosophers on one of the most important political and cultural crises of our time." "Many of us are beginning to realize the extent to which terrorism and the Israel/Palestine conflict - and the ways in which we handle then - are likely to be determining factors in shaping the West of the future. This short and accessible book introduces the key issues from a philosophical perspective."--Jacket
