Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control is a
hardbound series that provides primary-source documents on the
worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Chief among the documents
collected are transcripts of Congressional testimony, reports by
such federal government bodies as the Congressional Research
Service and the Government Accountability Office, and case law
covering issues related to terrorism. Most volumes carry a single
theme, and inside each volume the documents appear within
topic-based categories. The series also includes a subject index
and other indices that guide the user through this complex area of
the law. Terrorism in Pakistan's value to researchers of Pakistani
terrorism issues is immediately evident from the organization of
the salient documents therein: first Pakistan's security law (in
statutes and international agreements), then Pakistan's reports to
the UN, UN resolutions on Pakistani terrorism developments, next
some U.S. perspectives on the problem, and lastly the perspectives
of international groups (including a message from al-Qaeda). Since
Pakistan's national efforts at thwarting internal terrorist
activity have largely failed, this volume's combination of
perspectives from inside the country with those from elsewhere
yields a full and thoughtful picture for researchers delving into
this complex arena, where history, religious extremism, and
international political imperatives meet. The impact of jihadist
training and organization within Pakistan extends far beyond its
borders, and so any scholarly treatment of this subject must
include both that discussion of domestic measures and that survey
of international responses to those measures. Researchers will find
in this volume the full spectrum of legal and political debate that
revolves around this troubled country.
Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control is a
hardbound series that provides primary-source documents on the
worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Chief among the documents
collected are transcripts of Congressional and Parliamentary
testimony, reports by quasi-governmental organizations, and case
law covering issues related to terrorism. The series also includes
a subject index and other indices that guide the user through this
complex area of the law. Overall, the series keeps users up to date
on the panoply of terrorism issues now facing the U.S. and the
world. Terrorism in India takes researchers inside a country
currently reeling from its own major terrorist assault: India. For
the first time, the Terrorism series devotes a full volume to that
country's anti-terrorism policy and security challenges. The
documents presented here include both background legislation and
recent government responses to the Mumbai attacks.

the controversial issue of defense contractors. In selecting
documents for this volume and in writing expert commentary for it,
General Editor Lovelace has focused almost entirely on the current
U.S. military's use of contractors in Iraq. Although other books
have addressed the problem of military contracting, this volume
constitutes a rare combination of primary material and new
commentary on this developing issue.

exclusively on the threat of cyberterrorism in the U.S. General
Editor Lovelace has for this volume selected authoritative
documents demonstrating the current homeland vulnerabilities to
such an attack. By presenting these documents and by using his
commentary to assess the extent of such threats and
vulnerabilities, Lovelace has constructed a valuable one-stop
resource for researching the prospect of computer-based and
internet-based terrorism.

Rendition in the War Against Terrorists leads researchers through
the legal background to the headline-grabbing issue of coercive
interrogation. The centerpiece of the volume is the section on the
Yoo memo, a document prepared by the Bush Administration to lay the
supposedly legal foundation for torturing detainees suspected of
terrorism. While many press reports have discussed and partially
quoted the memorandum, this volume constitutes the first
publication of both the memo's full text and expert commentary
thereof. General Editor Douglas Lovelace also equips readers with
the background treaties and statutes necessary to understand the
issue (the U.N. Convention Against Torture, the McCain Amendment to
the Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, etc.), and he in turn makes
those laws more comprehensible with his own thought-provoking
analysis of them. Now that the question of torture's legality has
become such a prominent topic in law school classrooms and in the
halls of Congress, both students and policymakers will find a
uniquely comprehensive and accessible resource for their queries in
Volume 95 of Terrorism.

Against Terrorists presents three viewpoints on the problem of
securing U.S. borders: the U.S. government's self-assessment, the
often critical judgment of independent agencies like the Government
Accountability Office ("GAO") and the Congressional Research
Service ("CRS"), and General Editor Douglas C. Lovelace's own
critique both of the governmental pronouncements and of those
GAO/CRS reports. By presenting both the text of border-related
regulations and these three perspectives on those regulations'
effectiveness, Lovelace provides researchers with a one-volume,
comprehensive exposition of the topical issue of border security.
Even more importantly, the documents and commentary in this volume
will provoke policymakers and other government staff into thinking
differently and creatively about the challenge of securing borders
that extend for thousands of miles over often harsh terrain. For
example, Lovelace and some of the included authors challenge the
notion that physical barriers alone will impede the entry of
terrorists. Similarly, Lovelace here encourages his readers to
envision borders not just as a means to regulate crime but also as
a vehicle for international cooperation between, in this case, the
U.S., Mexico, and Canada. This volume is essential for any
researcher seeking a current, tough-minded analysis of U.S. border
security.

rise and Lebanon-based violence over the last five tumultuous years
of that country's history. The documents collected in this volume
demonstrate not just key details in Hezbollah's direct war on
Israel but also the organization's public relations and financial
efforts, both over the Internet and in collaboration with Iran. But
this volume's usefulness can be found not just in its detailed
history of Hezbollah's multi-front campaign but also in several
documents' analysis of the suffering endured by Lebanese citizens,
including the harm wrought by Israel's response to Hezbollah. To
complete the picture of Lebanon's difficult recent history, Volume
92 also provides two classes of UN documents: Lebanon's own reports
on its counter-terror work, and the Security Council's measures
related to the tribunal investigating Hariri's assassination. For
researchers seeking one volume in which all parties affected by the
Lebanese crisis present their view, this volume will prove quite
valuable.
Volume 89 introduces Terrorism researchers to the realm of European
Union security law. With an ever-expanding immigrant population and
a rising Islamic presence within Europe, the EU's quickly
developing security law demands the kind of topically organized
document collection that Volume 89 constitutes. A key feature of
this volume is the section devoted to case law from the European
Court of Justice, which has addressed the delicate legal issue of
defining and categorizing philanthropic organizations as
terrorist-supporting groups. This volume also features the text of
European Parliament measures that regulate the flow of money to
terrorist groups. Given the prominence of these questions in
non-European countries as well, this volume will serve as a unique
research tool for scholars and policymakers around the world.
