- Summary:
- In this book, James Der Derian shows us a world in which CNN and Disney are as much a part of combat as Boeing and the Pentagon. In the future of warfare, will killing become easier? Will peace become more fragile? Virtuous War offers insight into what happens to both civilians and soldiers when killing becomes remote and the distinction between real and simulated war blurs.
