Though the history of terrorism stretches back to the ancient
world, today it is often understood as a recent development.
Comprehensive enough to serve as a survey for students or newcomers
to the field, yet with enough depth to engage the specialist, The
Routledge History of Terrorism is the first single-volume
authoritative reference text to place terrorism firmly into its
historical context. Terrorism is a transnational phenomenon with a
convoluted history that defies easy periodization and narrative
treatment. Over the course of 32 chapters, experts in the field
analyze its historical significance and explore how and why
terrorism emerged as a set of distinct strategies, tactics, and
mindsets across time and space. Chapters address not only familiar
topics such as the Northern Irish Troubles, the Palestine
Liberation Organization, international terrorism, and the rise of
al-Qaeda, but also lesser-explored issues such as: American racial
terrorism state terror and terrorism in the Middle Ages tyrannicide
from Ancient Greece and Rome to the seventeenth century the roots
of Islamist violence the urban guerrilla, terrorism, and state
terror in Latin America literary treatments of terrorism. With an
introduction by the editor explaining the book's rationale and
organization, as well as a guide to the definition of terrorism, an
historiographical chapter analysing the historical approach to
terrorism studies, and an eight-chapter section that explores
critical themes in the history of terrorism, this book is essential
reading for all those interested in the past, present, and future
of terrorism.
