From Anders Breivik in Norway, who murdered scores of young people
in a bombing and mass-shooting attack, to Omar Mateen, the Orlando
killer who perpetrated the worst mass shooting in American history,
lone wolves have demonstrated that they can be as dangerous as
organized terrorist groups. Who are these terrorists and what can
be done about them? An internationally renowned terrorism expert
presents the first comprehensive treatment of this important issue.
After delving into the diversity in motivations and backgrounds of
lone wolf terrorists, Simon makes the following key points about
this growing threat: lone wolves have proven to be more creative
and dangerous than many terrorist groups; lone wolves are not just
Islamist extremists but can be found among all types of political
and religious ideologies; the Internet has provided the perfect
breeding ground for isolated individuals with terrorist tendencies,
but it may also prove to be their undoing; there are few women in
this category, but this is likely to change in the coming years;
and the common perception that nothing can be done about lone
wolves is wrong. In fact, innovative strategies and policies can be
developed to both prevent and respond to this type of terrorism.
Drawing on his more than twenty-five years of experience studying
terrorism, Simon has produced an insightful book that is essential
reading for anyone concerned about the potential terrorist threats
from violence-prone individuals in our midst.This paperback edition
contains a new preface by the author, which reviews lone-wolf
incidents since the publication of the original edition.
