Reviews
In the middle of this mayhem, G. Fragopoulos and L. Naydan present an interesting edited book, which invites well-read and reputed scholars coming from different disciplines and stripes. ... all chapters integrated in this must-read book, which is highly recommendable for scholars and policy makers interested in themes of terrorism, are orchestrated to stimulate further discussions around the aesthetic of terrorism and its intersection on our capitalist culture, a moot-point, which will deserve further scrutiny in the years to come. (Maximiliano E. Korstanje, International Journal of Safety and Security in Tourism Hospitality, 2017)
