Heymann, James Barr Ames Professor of Law, Harvard Law School, author of Terrorism, Freedom, and Security This collection of compelling analyses of the causes of extremist violence, terrorist strategies, and concepts for countering terrorism will be of great value to both nonspecialists and students seeking incisive introductions to these vexing issues and to officials looking for creative policy options. -- Stephen J. Flanagan, Henry A. Kissinger Chair in International Security, Center for Strategic and International Studies, Co-editor of Strategic Challenges: America's Global Security Agenda
