Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:
