Customer Reviews

Great Introduction

I used this book to give me a brief overview of terrorism for a grad class I was taking. I thought this book did a great job of giving the reader a good introduction, which includes historical and modern context. It was an easy read for someone who is looking for a basis to start researching this topic.
