This book answers these and other questions in an exploration that ranges from French Revolution to death squads of Colombia, and reveals how terrorism has become an invasive presence that affects government policy, military actions, and holiday destinations.
A fascinating and frightening look into terrorism on a global scale.
Since the terrible events of 9/11, more attention than ever has been paid to the threats and challenges posed by contemporary terrorists.

It provides a fascinating insight into such mythical figures as Carlos the Jackal and Osama bin Laden, while also offering a full account of how terrorist ‘cells’ operate and what they might do in the future.
