This is my fifth book. It would be nice to say that I find that they’re getting easier; this has not been the case, and this work in particular has led me to analyse some new and difficult issues. However, I have truly enjoyed writing this book, and I hope that alongside the polemics and political passion that this book considers, this work will inspire readers to share my interest in these topics.

At various points I have called on friends and colleagues to help, advise, guide and even warn me about my many draft versions of this book. In no particular order, I’d like to thank, Paul Chambers, Ruth Kinna, Anthony Fiscella, Penny Richards, Brian Ireland, Laure Humbert, Gavin Edwards, Chris Meredith, Tom Cahill, Ali Wardak, Mona al- Honi and Louise Rees for assistance with particular awkward points; Sarah Lewis, the commissioning editor for University of Wales Press, for her encouragement and, in particular, for her invaluable assistance during a difficult moment in January 2008. And also Patricia Clark, for so much.
