?The book is written in a style pleasing to both historiographers and international relations area specialists alike. In a topic area often fraught with information distorted by the political sympathies of journalists and academics, Croissant is able to carefully extract the facts necessary to produce a detailed and theoretically sound account of a long term and highly complex socio-political conflict.?-Terrorism & Politcal Violence, Vol10, #4, 1998

?An interesting book with good sketches.?-The journal of the United Service Institution of India
