Gr 7 Up-Balkin explores four topics of inquiry: "Is the War on Terrorism Justified? "Is the Domestic War on Terrorism a Threat to Civil Liberties?" Will the Domestic Antiterrorism Measures Make Americans Safer?" "How Is the U.S. War on Terrorism Affecting the World?" Twenty-eight authors take pro/con stances on various aspects of these questions. Supporting the Bush party line are articles by Colin Powell, Tom Ridge, Dan Darling, Roger Clegg, and others. Writing in opposition to the Republican platform are Joseph Cirincione, Peter Simonson, Philip Agre, and others. Each article is clearly identified, and each section concludes with a periodical bibliography. Questions for discussion are appended, as is a list of organizations and Web sites useful for further study. A helpful volume for students as well as adults seeking basic information on this subject.-Linda Beck, Indian Valley Public Library, Telford, PA (c) Copyright 2010.
