From the reviews: "This text examines the antecedent emotions and beliefs of individuals around the globe concerning concepts such as war, terrorism, national security, invasion, and torture. ... the text is a gold mine for anyone wanting to engage in research related to peace psychology, international relations, political science, anthropology, and other disciplines. ... This text is a fundamental 'must have' for politicians, policy makers, peace psychologists and anyone working to address issues of armed conflict and mass violence around the globe." (Linda M. Woolf, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 59 (1), January, 2014)
