内容説明

A psychiatrist examines why terrorists decide to attack and how we can combat them.Featuring a distinctive and original perspective, this book offers depth and breadth and provides an analysis of the psychology behind terrorism.It has a wide focus - not just Middle Eastern terrorism, and provides a broad look at a wide selection of terrorists, from American terrorists to IRA bombers and Maoist guerrillas.Post gets extensive media attention - often serving as a talking head on the issue of terrorism, Post has been mentioned in "The New Yorker", CNN, "The Seattle Times", the BBC, and "The Guardian".It contains unique interview material.Terrorism did not begin with 9/11. This book remembers the long history of terrorism and considers the question: what makes people terrorists? By looking into the mind of terrorists, Post sheds light on their paths to pathology and provides detailed analysis of how to combat them in the contemporary world.
