Riassunto

Know the issues behind this crucial topic

.

Never shying away from controversial or difficult questions, Teach Yourself Understanding Terrorism is a fascinating and thought-provoking read. It considers how we define terrorism (What distinguishes terrorism from other types of warfare? Can a state engage in terrorism? Why should we 'understand' terrorism?) before turning its attention on individual terrorists, terrorist groups, and organizations.

..

Packed full of in-depth case studies, you will gain an insight into the root causes and catalysts, the recruitment patterns, and leading figures in organizations such as the Provisional IRA, Al-Qaeda, Hezbollah, and the Tamil Tigers. Drawing on Dr. John Horgan's vast research into the psychological aspects of political violence, this book also focuses on the psychology of terrorism and analyzes the possible responses to this complex phenomenon.
