{"product_id":"silent-war-elisabeth-schweiger-9781526169532","title":"Silent War: Remote Warfare and the Politics of Silence","description":"Silent war reveals how silence functions as a crucial but often overlooked force in enabling and sustaining military violence. While war propaganda and discursive justifications have received significant attention, this book argues that military operations also depend on a hidden infrastructure of silence - through omission, secrecy, and tacit consent. Focusing on drone warfare and colonial counterinsurgency, it explores how regimes of (not) listening shape what can and cannot be heard. Drawing on a multidisciplinary framework and extensive empirical research - including analysis of Western parliamentary debates, UN documents, media coverage, and archival records - Silent war traces the enduring role of silence in legitimising imperial violence. It reframes silence not as absence but as a constitutive force in global power relations, offering critical tools for interrogating dominant frameworks of military violence and opening space for listening otherwise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Elisabeth Schweiger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1526169533\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781526169532\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/28\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Elisabeth Schweiger","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50546360090879,"sku":"9781526169532","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silent-war-elisabeth-schweiger-9781526169532","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
