Reviews

Gr 9 Up-These monumental resources, both of which are judicious expansions upon previous editions, meticulously explore the events of September 11, 2001, the ideological foundations of Muslim fundamentalist extremism, and the current state of geopolitical terrorism. Comprised of introductory essays, nearly 175 entries, and more than 50 primary documents, The 9/11 Encyclopedia astutely shifts through the mountain of information on the events surrounding the attacks and presents users with an easily accessible format for investigation of topics from "Al Qaeda" to "Ayman al-Zawahiri." The primary-source documents that make up volume two include excerpts from secondary sources as well as witness testimony, government reports, and Osama bin Laden's "Letter to the American People." Encompassing a greater diversity of subjects, The SAGE Encyclopedia of Terrorism canvasses not only the world of September 11th, but also the historical and contemporary realm of asymmetrical conflicts and the implications of "New Terrorism." This edition has been greatly updated to include entries on the plethora of emerging insurgent groups from across the landscape of geo-terrorism. With entries covering topics as diverse as "Timothy McVeigh," "New People's Army," and "Ilich Ramirez Sanchez," users are given access to an incredible array of research material. For school and public libraries looking to update collections and support social studies curriculums, these are must-have works.-Brian Odom, Pelham Public Library, AL (c) Copyright 2011.
