When we think "terrorism," our minds conjure up dramatic and
horrifying images of hijackings, suicide bombings, assassinations
and various other forms of brutal carnage. Placing terrorist acts
within a historical context, this book helps us understand the
causes, dynamics and outcomes of terrorism.Providing a concise
history of terrorism since the French Revolution, the author
considers the relationship between terrorism and warfare, crime,
technology globalization and the state. He investigates the meaning
of the word "terrorism" and shows how the definition and practice
have both evolved over time. Throughout, he considers what
motivates terrorists and what they hope to accomplish.Written by a
pioneer in the field, Terrorism: The Present Threat in Context
offers a practical assessment of domestic and international threats
to security. This book will help anyone concerned about terrorism
learn to evaluate the risks in a rational way, devoid of the
hysteria that so often dominates the subject.
