    "'Chris Hables Gray takes us to the edge, looks into the abyss, and where others wish us only to see fear, hatred, and a permanent state of war, he finds hope. Going beyond pure critique, Gray brilliantly dissects the morbidity of the TerrorWars and concisely maps out a netcentric course of action for a viable peace.'

    ." -- James Der Derian, author of Virtuous War and producer of After 9/11
