Terrorism is one of the most significant security threats that we
face in the twenty-first century. Not surprisingly, there is now a
plethora of books on the subject, offering definitions of what
terrorism is and proffering advice on what causes it and how states
should react to it. But one of the most important questions about
terrorism has, until now, been left remarkably under-scrutinized:
does it work? Richard English now brings thirty years of
professional expertise studying terrorism to the task of answering
this complex-and controversial - question. Focussing principally on
four of the most significant terrorist organizations of the last
fifty years (al-Qaida, the Provisional IRA, Hamas, and ETA), and
using a wealth of interview material with former terrorists as well
as those involved in counter-terrorism, he argues that we need a
far more honest understanding of the degree to which terrorism
actually works-as well as a more nuanced insight into the precise
ways in which it does so. Only then can we begin to grapple more
effectively with what has become one of the most challenging and
eye-catching issues of our time.
