Streets Without Joy: A Political History of Sanctuary and War, 1959-2009 by Mich

Description: Streets Without Joy by Michael A. Innes Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Blending historical research with policy analysis, Innes investigates how the concept of sanctuary shaped Washingtons own understanding of how warfare should be conducted, against conventional and unconventional opponents alike. Publisher Description Americas wars after the 9/11 attacks were marked by a political obsession with terrorist sanctuaries and safe havens. From mountain redoubts in Afghanistan to the deserts of Iraq, Washingtons policy-makers maintained an unwavering focus on finding and destroying the refuges, bases and citadels of modern guerrilla movements, and holding their sponsors to account. This was a preoccupation embedded in nearly every official speech and document of the time, a corpus of material that offered a new logic for thinking about the world. As an exercise in political communication, it was a spectacular success. From 2001 to 2009, President George W. Bush and his closest advisors set terms of reference that cascaded down from the White House, through government and into the hearts and minds of Americans. Sanctuary was the red thread running through all of it, permeating the decisions and discourses of the day. Where did this obsession come from? How did it become such an important feature of American political life? In this new political history, Michael A. Innes explores precedents, from Saigon to Baghdad, and traces how decision-makers and their advisors used ideas of sanctuary to redefine American foreign policy, national security, and enemies real and imagined.
