No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Does the United States have a plausible strategy for victory in the global war on terror? If not, what should it be? Martin Rees and other scientists warn that the progress of science, especially biological science, is democratizing the power to destroy. (See Martin Rees, Our Final Hour, 2003). What implications follow for the future of terrorism and counter-terror? A talk will be presented, followed by discussion. Ree's book, chapters 1, 4 and 6 will be discussed. Copies of Martin Rees' book are on Reserve at the Dewey Library.
