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'. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn 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. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking the long view as well as getting up close to the war machine, \u003cem\u003eVirtuous War\u003c\/em\u003e provides a compelling alternative to the partisan politics, instant analysis and technical fixes that currently bedevil US national security policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJames Der Derian \u003c\/strong\u003eis Research Professor of International Studies at Brown University, where he directs the Innovating GlobalSecurity and Global Media Project at the Watson Institute for International Studies.
