Non-Fiction Political
This collection of essays sheds some light on the
underlying issues in 24, one of the most gripping,
dramatic, and addictive shows on television. With
contributors drawn from fields including philosophy,
psychology, political science, and counterterrorism, the
essays reflect, distort, and comment on our modern
political landscape. Using our current political climate
to enrich viewers’ experience of 24, this book addresses
how much of the show is realistic and what it has to say
about modern politics and foreign policy in America’s
fight against terrorism. Essays look at issues including
the show’s images of terrorism, the ethics and
effectiveness of the characters’ counterterrorism
practices, the portrayal of government and politics on the
show, whether it takes a terrorist to fight a terrorist,
how much “the people” have a right to know in life-
threatening circumstances, and how effective we really
want our heroes to be.
