In 'Brute Reality', Stuart Price provides a critical insight into a number
of influential structures that have helped shape contemporary attitudes to
warfare. The book contains a wealth of transcripts and media sources,
including Channel Four¹s coverage of 9/11 and the rhetorical pronouncements
of leading politicians. Beginning with the state of ?war¹ created after the
September 11th attacks, Price follows the strategic adjustments begun during
the Iraq adventure, and includes reference to the modifications in policy
carried out during the Obama Presidency.

This book provides a valuable resource for the study of power, rhetoric, and
mediation. Find more details at:
