An accessible and comprehensive history of terrorism from ancient
times to the present In the years since 9/11, there has been a
massive surge in interest surrounding the study of terrorism. This
volume applies distinguished military historian John Lynn's
lifetime of research and teaching experience to this difficult
topic. As a form of violence that implies the threat of future
violence, terrorism breeds insecurity, vulnerability, and a desire
for retribution that has far-reaching consequences. Lynn
distinguishes between the paralyzing effect of fear and the
potentially dangerous and chaotic effects of moral outrage and
righteous retaliation guiding counterterrorism efforts. In this
accessible and comprehensive text, Lynn traces the evolution of
terrorism over time, exposing its constants and contrasts. In doing
so, he contextualizes this violence and argues that a knowledge of
the history and nature of terrorism can temper its psychological
effects, and can help us more accurately and carefully assess
threats as well as develop informed and measured responses.
