Books by Christina Hellmich

Looking at a range of films that have provoked debate, from award-winning features like' Zero Dark Thirty' and 'American Sniper', to documentaries like 'Kill List' and 'Dirty Wars',this book examines the practices of erasure in the cinematic representation of recent military interventions.

Is al-Qaeda a rigidly organisation, a global network of semi-independent cells, a franchise, or simply an ideology? What role did Osama bin Laden play within the group and its terrorist campaign? This volume offers a critical reflection on Western ways of talking and of thinking about the frightening experience of global terrorism.
