Following the attacks of September 11th 2001, one of the resounding
questions asked was "What would make anyone do such a thing?" The
psychological mentality of the suicidal terrorist left a gaping
hole in people's understanding. This essential volume represents a
much-needed effort to collate and examine some of the material
already at our disposal as an encouragement to serious thought on
this question and other related questions.'If terrorism is not new,
what is it about the recent attacks that gives us a sense that
something has changed? Is it the scale of the destruction, or the
anxiety that we are facing some altogether new uncertainty? Are we
in some sense facing a new enemy? ...In reflecting on these and
other related questions we may be facing a similar watershed of
understanding to that faced by Freud at the end of the Great
War...In the absence of progress in our thinking today, political
leaders and public opinion will likely turn to previous political
and religious ideas, investing in them with a fundamentalist
certainty that spells disaster.
