Edited by Andrew T.H. Tan, Non-Resident Principal Fellow, Institute for Indo-Pacific Affairs, New Zealand
'This is an important and worthwhile book that should be read by
anyone seeking to understand the history and evolution of political
violence in Southeast Asia, including the origins of contemporary
militant Islamist terrorism.'
*Paul J. Smith, Contemporary Southeast Asia*
'This very fine collection shows how and why Southeast Asia has
been afflicted with terrorism from the end of World War II to the
present time. No other volume tells us as much about the period and
area. Anyone interested in the general theory and practice of
terrorism and insurgency will find it indispensable.'
*David C. Rapoport, University of California, Los Angeles, US and
Editor of Journal of Terrorism and Political Violence*
'This stimulating collection of essays underlines how Southeast
Asia has again, as at the height of the Cold War, been pushed
towards the top of the list of world conflict zones by the
collision between long-standing regional problems and more recent
external frictions. Anyone needing to learn more about the
relationship between the "war on terror" and Southeast Asia,
particularly regarding "terrorism" in Thailand, Indonesia and the
Philippines, will need to consult this work.'
*Brian P. Farrell, National University of Singapore, and author of
The Defence and Fall of Singapore 1940-1942*
'This book is an excellent addition to the literature on political
violence in Southeast Asia providing a wealth of detail on
terrorism, guerilla insurgency, and the use of terror and
repression by governments. The book is especially valuable for the
broad coverage of many different groups (not just Islamic ones),
inclusion of the activities of governments, and a variety of
opinions and views on terrorism and political violence. This book
should be one of the essential resources for academics,
policymakers, or anyone else interested in terrorism, insurgency,
and political violence in the region. It is an extremely valuable
tool for one and all.'
*James M. Lutz, Indiana University-Purdue University, US and
co-author of Global Terrorism, with Brenda Lutz*
