Political speeches and public rhetoric paint the phenomena of terrorism with a black and white brush, presenting it as a clear-cut battle between evildoers and heroes. With The Achille Lauro Hijacking", Michael K. Bohn, who watched the incident unfold from the White House Situation Room, uses the infamous terrorist incident to illuminate the folly of such over simplified jingoisms.
