While there is no easy way to define terrorism, it may generally be
viewed as a method of violence in which civilians are targeted with
the objective of forcing a perceived enemy into submission by
creating fear, demoralization, and political friction in the
population under attack. At one time a marginal field of study in
the social sciences, terrorism is now very much in center stage.
The 1970s terrorist attacks by the PLO, the Provisional Irish
Republican Army, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine,
the Japanese Red Army, the Unabomber, Aum Shinrikyo, Timothy
McVeigh, the World Trade Center attacks, the assault on a school in
Russia, and suicide bombers have all made the term "terrorism" an
all-too-common part of our vocabulary. This edition of Political
Terrorism was originally published in the 1980s, well before some
of the horrific events noted above. This monumental collection of
definitions, conceptual frameworks, paradigmatic formulations, and
bibliographic sources is being reissued in paperback now as a
resource for the expanding community of researchers on the subject
of terrorism. This is a carefully constructed guide to one of the
most urgent issues of the world today. When the first edition was
originally published, Choice noted, "This extremely useful
reference tool should be part of any serious social science
collection." Chronicles of Culture called it "a tremendously
comprehensive book about a subject that any who have anything to
lose--from property to liberty, life to limbs--should be forewarned
against."
