Terrorism: Understanding the Global Threat
David J. Whittaker
Longman/Pearson, 2013 - 236 p.
[1] What is terrorism and where does it come from? Who are the people
[2] who perpetrate terror? What are their motives? Terrorism is now
[3] everybody's major and constant fear. This easy-to-read, concise
[4] account of terrorism provides the essential global guide to
[5] understanding what the threat is and exactly where it comes from.
[6] Without this knowledge, argues David Whittaker, there can be no
[7] way forward in prevention and control. The book looks in particular at
[8] how terrorism has shaped and been shaped by the past half century,
[9] the driving forces behind it, the methods, the psychology and the
[10] money. Originally written in the aftermath of September 11, the book
[11] has now been updated to reflect how our understanding of and
[12] reaction to terrorism has moved on in the past few years. The Where
[13] to Find Out More section at the end will also be thoroughly updated
[14] to include recent websites and publications on the subject.
