TitleSince the first airplane hijacking by the Popular Front for
the Liberation of Palestine in September 1970, Middle Eastern
terrorists have sacrificed innocent human lives in the name of
ideology. From Black September to the Munich Olympics, to the
embassy bombing in Beirut, to the devastating attacks of September
11 and beyond, terrorism has emerged as the most important security
concern of our time."Where did this come from?" Inspired by a
student's question on the morning of September 11, 2001, Mark
Ensalaco has written a thoroughly researched narrative account of
the origins of Middle Eastern terrorism, addressing when and why
terrorists started targeting Americans and American interests and
what led to the September 11 attacks.Ensalaco reveals the changing
of motivations from secular Palestinian nationalism to militant
Islam and demonstrates how competition among terrorists for
resources and notoriety has driven them to increasingly extreme
tactics. As he argues, terrorist attacks grew from spectacle to
atrocity. Drawing on popular works and scholarly sources, "Middle
Eastern Terrorism" tells this story in rich detail and with great
clarity and insight.
