Description and Table of Contents
Description
This new first edition offers an accessible introduction to terrorism that includes coverage of both new terror in the post-Cold War world as well as historical acts of terror. The author has been selective in her choice of topics, choosing to go into richer detail on fewer issues while nonetheless including coverage of topics that have been ignored by the competition, such as "Terrorist Propaganda and the Media" and "Terror and Hate in Cyberspace." In addition, the author adds the American context of terror to the standard international context offered by most texts.
