Opinion surveys show that what the public assumes it knows about
terrorism is at best a badly distorted view. Recalling the "Flat
Earth" phenomenon, early misconceptions have become solidified,
despite new evidence refuting them. The authors of The Irrational
Terrorist discredit these popular myths and misconceptions,
providing an accessible overview of the key theoretical
explanations of terrorism and liberally illustrating their analysis
with case studies. Ranging from the religious and economic
backgrounds of individual terrorists to the nature and outreach of
terrorist organizations, they offer fact-based, cutting-edge
explanations of the motivations and behavior of terrorist groups.
