Summary

How 'true' is climate change, and how do we know? Who is to blame for the financial crisis? What is the truth about the drone wars? We live in an age of crises that are global in scale and potentially apocalyptic in severity. In response, the language of war has been increasingly deployed across a whole spectrum of ecological, social and economic problems: war on terror; war on warming; war on want; war on bankers' bonuses; war on drugs; war on waste; war on genocidal leaders. Peter Lee examines climate change, military intervention and financial collapse to reveal how truth is used by competing interests to shape individual behaviour, attitudes and identity.

Author Biography

Peter Lee is a Principal Lecturer in Military Ethics and Political Theory at RAF College Cranwell, Portsmouth University, UK. His research explores the relationship between politics, truth and ethics in the shaping of human behaviour and identity, and in the recent development of drone warfare. He previously published Blair's Just War: Iraq and the Illusion of Morality (2011).
