On July 22, 2011, Anders Behring Breivik detonated a car bomb in
downtown Oslo, Norway. He didn't stop there, traveling several
hours from the city to ambush a youth camp while the rest of Norway
was distracted by his earlier attack. That's where the facts end.
But what motivated him? Did he have help staging the attacks? The
evidence suggests a startling truth: that this was the work of one
man, pursuing a mission he was convinced was just.
If Breivik did indeed act alone, he wouldn't be the first.
Timothy McVeigh bombed a federal building in Oklahoma City based
essentially on his own motivations. Eric Robert Rudolph embarked on
a campaign of terror over several years, including the Centennial
Park bombing at the 1996 Olympics. Ted Kaczynski was revealed to be
the Unabomber that same year. And these are only the most notable
examples. As George Michael demonstrates in "Lone Wolf Terror and
the Rise of Leaderless Resistance," they are not isolated cases.
Rather, they represent the new way warfare will be conducted in the
twenty-first century.
"Lone Wolf Terror" investigates the motivations of numerous
political and ideological elements, such as right-wing individuals,
ecoextremists, foreign jihadists, and even quasi-governmental
entities. In all these cases, those carrying out destructive acts
operate as "lone wolves" and small cells, with little or no
connection to formal organizations. Ultimately, Michael suggests
that leaderless resistance has become the most common tactical
approach of political terrorists in the West and elsewhere.
