More on Teaching "Law and the 'War on Terror'": Selected Bibliographies on Terrorism and Torture

Last week we ran a post about how to teach the topic of "Law and the 'War on Terror,'" part of my series of posts on teaching the U.S. Legal History survey for the first time. In response to my question about useful readings, both for assignments and background knowledge, reader Patrick S. O'Donnell (Santa Barbara City College) sent us two terrific bibliographies, one on terrorism and the other on torture. He gave us permission to post them in full, after the jump.

Terrorism—Moral, Psychological, Political & Legal Perspectives:
A Select Bibliography

Patrick S. O’Donnell
Department of Philosophy
Santa Barbara City College (2013)

As a “select bibliography” this compilation is far from exhaustive or comprehensive. Nonetheless, I think it will suffice for many purposes, especially if, as part of one’s incipient explorations of the subject, one desires a sense of the range (if not quality) of the literature on the topic. If there are titles you think are conspicuous by their absence, please send them to me and I will include them in an updated version of this list.
