The Iraq War shows no sign of ending, NATO is progressively more mired in conflict in Afghanistan, and the al-Qaida movement has established safe havens in western Pakistan while being seen once again as a major threat.*BR**BR*In light of this, the new Oxford Research Group international security report questions current policies and argues for the adoption of sustainable security as the underlying approach.*BR**BR*Tackling events in chronological order over the key 2006-07 period, the report offers a clear and compelling account of a 'war on terror' that has gone wrong in every major respect and is in urgent need of a comprehensive re-thinking of the entire outlook.*BR**BR*Comments on earlier editions of the Oxford Research Group International Security Report:*BR*"Incisive, elegant, profound: if you want to understand what happened and why, you should start here." GEORGE MONBIOT*BR*"Paul Rogers is a secular prophet for our trouble age. This analysis should be required reading in the Pentagon." DAVID LLOYN, BBC*BR*"Paul Rogers has proved himself, time and again, to be a dispassionate analyst of events in Iraq ... this is a must-read." TOM WALKER, SUNDAY TIMES.
