Terror and Taboo - by Joseba Zulaika & William Douglass

Terror and Taboo is about the mythology of terrorism; it is an exploration of the ways we talk about terrorism. It offers incontestable evidence to support the idea that we give power to terrorism by the way we write and talk about it.  According to Zulaika and Douglass, we make terrorism worse by the way we represent it in the media and in everyday conversation. Through their examination of terrorism, they propose to remove the taboos surrounding terrorism.

Silent No More -  Paul Findley

The Dying God: The Hidden History of Western Civilization - by David Livingstone
Few would acknowledge that our knowledge of history could be significantly inaccurate. The most common conception of history is one that begins in Greece, the "cradle of Western civilization", then progresses through Rome, and finally Europe and America. However, this merely represents a strictly Western version of history, and one that is often confused with the history of the World.

It accuses those who exploit the Holocaust of telling lies, conniving in Israeli atrocities, and of naked greed.  The ruthless industrialisation of the Holocaust has encouraged the rebirth of anti-semitism in Europe and the United States.

Why Do People Hate America - by Ziauddin Sardar & Merryl Wyn Davies
America exports its value systems, defining what it means to be civilised, rational, developed and democratic – indeed, what it is to be human. Meanwhile, the US itself is impervious to outside influence, and if most Americans think of the rest of the world at all, it is in terms of deeply ingrained cultural stereotypes.
