Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Terrorism Reader explores all the aspects of terrorism from its definition, psychological and sociological effects, legal and ethical issues to counter-terrorism. In a particularly original way, this reader illustrates the growth and variety of terrorism with a series of 12 case-studies from four continents, including: * ETA and Spain * Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia * Shining Path in Peru * Liberation Tigers in Sri Lanka * IRA and UFF in Northern Ireland * Quaddafi Regime in Libya. The book provides an intriguing introduction to a notorious and puzzling international phenomenon. Drawing together material from a variety of experts, it makes their opinions on terrorism easily accessible, allowing understanding, conjecture and debate.
