In his book Terror and Consent (Knopf, 2008), Bobbitt reflects on a new definition of warfare, the current domestic debate, the challenges to international law, and how our new market-driven society might measure victory. In addition to providing scenarios about how this war might unfold, the book also provides particular recommendations – a mix of policy prescriptions and a rethinking of the fundamentals of how we might actually win a war against terrorism.
Bobbitt is the author of the critically-acclaimed The Shield of Achilles: War, Peace, and the Course of History (Knopf, 2002), named "One of the best books of the year," by The Times (London), "One of the best books in 2002 on politics and current affairs", by The Economist, and hailed as "magisterial in its scope and ambition," by The New York Times.
