商品簡介
Etzioni, professor and founder of "communitarianism," teams up with journalist Marsh in presenting 21 essays, many previously published, that collectively debate the war between civil and legal rights on one hand and the so-called "War on Terror" on the other. The views presented cut across a political spectrum ranging from Attorney General John Ashcroft's demands for more police power to worries that rights need to "balanced" with "fighting terrorism." Topics explored include immigration, racial profiling, freedom of the press, public health, "just" war theory, and national service. Annotation (c) Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
