Table of ContentsPreface Chapter 1: Introduction to Genetic Predispositions and the Politics of Terror Chapter 2: Genes, Media and the Government in the National Narrative on Terror Chapter 3: The Criminalization of Language in the War on Terror Chapter 4: Genetic Predisposition, Religious Belief and Psychological Operations in the War on Terror Conclusion Selected Bibliography IndexReviewsKendall, Siracusa, and Noguci wrote a tour de force on the role of language in understanding terrorism. In particular, the authors break new ground by looking at how thoughts-which lie within our gray matter and which are ultimately expressed through language-have a lot to do with the terrorist's personality, ideology, and motivation. I urge experts and non-experts alike to read The Language of Terror: Neuroscience and Political Language in the U.S. War on Terrorism, as this book offers a unique but important approach to better understand-and, hopefully, prevent wars and conflicts across the globe. -- Jonathan Matusitz, associate professor, University of Central Florida, Nicholson School of Communication Kendall, Siracusa, and Noguci wrote a tour de force on the role of language in understanding terrorism.
