Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb

Buda's Wagon: A Brief History of the Car Bomb

In this provocative history, Mike Davis traces the car bombâ€™s worldwide use and development, in the process exposing the role of state intelligence agenciesâ€”particularly those of the United States, Israel, India, and Pakistanâ€”in globalizing urban terrorist techniques. Davis argues that it is the incessant impact of car bombs, rather than the more apocalyptic threats of nuclear or bio-terrorism, that is changing cities and urban lifestyles, as privileged centers of power increasingly surround themselves with â€˜rings of steelâ€™ against a weapon that nevertheless seems impossible to defeat.
