Description: "Rebels with a Cause seeks to explain the minds, motives, means, and morality of those who espouse individual as well as communal dissent and resistance - violent or otherwise - in the name of some greater good.".

"Rebels not only identifies the actors and social forces that have caused nearly half of all countries throughout the globe to become infected with the ethnic, religious, tribal, clannish, and racial strife. Acknowledging that domestic conflicts are replacing international warfare as the source of political disorder and violence in the emerging decades, Rebels offers both readers and antagonists new insights and constructive approaches for the making of a less hostile and violent world.".

"Rebels with a Cause will help readers address some of this era's most troublesome questions." "Rebels with a Cause responds to these questions with a "Bill of Rights on Just Authority and Just Resistance" as a guide for both the governed and those who govern."--BOOK JACKET.
