In the last 50 years, terrorists have committed hundreds of
horrific acts of violence to further their causes. This accessible,
single-volume text covers the most significant terrorist acts
across contemporary history worldwide. Since the attacks on
September 11, 2001, terrorism has remained the chief threat to
international stability and security. The 50 Worst Terrorist
Attacks draws on all forms of terrorism-international,
transnational, and domestic-anywhere in the world, covering all
types of acts (e.g., bombings, assassinations, armed attacks,
skyjackings) by any organization and ideology. The work goes beyond
documenting the key events that occurred in or involved the United
States; it also covers important terrorist attacks by left- and
right-wing organizations, religiously motivated groups, and
separatists that are largely unknown among Western audiences. Each
entry supplies the details of the attack-the perpetrators, victims,
and eventual resolution-as well as the political, social, and
international contexts in which the event occurred. Readers will
grasp the evolution of terrorist activities and methodologies in
the 20th and 21st centuries, understand the importance of each
event in the development of the terrorist repertoire, and gauge the
responses intended to counter these new kinds of attacks. Provides
a chronological treatment of all major terrorist attacks in the
last 50 years worldwide, enabling readers to grasp how terrorist
acts have changed over time Clearly explains the importance of each
attack in terms of how the event spawned new types of attacks or
targets, elicited new government responses, resulted in increased
media coverage, or otherwise served as a turning point in the
history of terrorism Provides a readable review of representative
attacks that illustrates the differences in terrorists' thinking,
goals, milieu and reach, and attack styles; and the differences in
responses and their effectiveness Documents terrorists' targeting
of U.S. citizens and interests in the United States and abroad
Reflects the economic impact of increasing security measures in
response to terrorist attacks and threats, both at home and
internationally
