spanning centuries to focus ultimately on the advent of modern
terrorism, which has taken place from 1968 to the present. It
discusses the emerging challenges presented by the proliferation of
violent non-state actors, including Al Qaeda and ISIS. In addition,
it explores exactly what has motivated terrorists and speculates as
to how terrorism may continue to evolve. The core of Terrorism: The
Essential Reference Guide comprises A-Z entries on terrorist
organizations, major terrorist attacks, and prominent terrorist
leaders. The work concludes with a carefully selected group of
primary source documents essential to understanding the
contemporary terrorist landscape and a detailed timeline that will
