"Philip Seib continues to show why he is seen as a major authority in the field of media, conflict, peace and security. This outstanding anthology offers not only innovative thinking by distinguished experts about how the media influence (for better or worse) issues of war and peace; it takes the reader into the dust and danger of combat. It is an inspiring contribution to this still-new, but crucial, area of peace-and-conflict studies. Let's hope that among its readers will be many decision-makers who ignore this basic truth: that wars begin and end in the minds of men."Dr. Keith Spicer, Director, Institute for Media, Peace & Security, University for Peace, Geneva
