Best compilation of the true history of terrorism

This is an excellent book that explores in short chapters the history of terrorism back to the 1700's. This compilation revealed information regarding various "attacks" and the insights of many through out world history and what they perceived to be a cause worth fighting. It is not often that this much information is packed into a single book, very readable, and very detailed. These chapters goes into details that are revealed after the arrest, years later, and interviews long forgotten with terrorists that you have never heard. I would recommend this book to anyone to get a global understanding of what is, what is not terrorism and some excellent history. Good Read!!
