Terrorism is often mistakenly thought of as a modern phenomenon,
but it goes back quite some time. A History of Terrorism charts the
history of political terror from nineteenth-century Europe to the
multinational operations of Arab and other groups today. The
question is: What is its true impact today and in the future?
Laqueur addresses long-neglected psychological issues concerning
the origins of and motivations behind terrorism, and examines the
sociology of terrorism in depth: funding, intelligence gathering,
weapons and tactics, informers and countermeasures, and the crucial
role of the media depiction of the "terrorist personality".
Systematic terrorism and current interpretations of terrorism, its
common patterns, motives, and aims, are unflinchingly faced and
clearly explicated. Laqueur ultimately considers the effectiveness
of terrorism and examines the ominous possibility of nuclear
blackmail. Originally published in 1977, this book is one of the
two most quoted works on terrorism. This expanded edition features
a new preface and important contributions by distinguished security
expert Bruce Hoffman that apply Laqueur's classic and seemingly
timeless work to contemporary terrorism issues.
