Desert Screen

Discover the profound insights of Paul Virilio in his thought-provoking book, Desert Screen, published by Bloomsbury Publishing PLC in 2005. In this 168-page paperback, Virilio examines the Gulf War as a pivotal moment in history, marking it as the last industrial war and the first of the information age. He delves into the implications of a world experiencing global spatio-temporal collapse, a phenomenon that challenges the very foundations of negotiation and diplomacy. This engaging exploration of philosophy and political theory provides readers with a critical perspective on modern warfare and its impact on society. Ideal for those interested in Asian history, particularly the Vietnam War, Desert Screen is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of contemporary conflict.
