Reviews

"'As an overview of many of the best-known terrorist campaigns of the last half-century it is detailed and clear and, more importantly, frank in demolishing some of the current misapprehensions about the causes and continuing popularity of terrorism. It is scholarly and unsensational.' Salisbury Review"
