Reviews
This book provides concisely written, authoritative and insightful overviews of significant topics in the study of terrorism and counterterrorism in a question-and-answer format. --PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM
"""This book provides concisely written, authoritative and insightful overviews of significant topics in the study of terrorism and counterterrorism in a question-and-answer format."" --PERSPECTIVES ON TERRORISM ""This short book by a well-known expert on terrorism is a refreshing addition to a long list of works written on the subject. It is written for the general reader and logically organized. Following a general introduction that lays out what terrorism is, kinds of terrorism, and why we should be concerned, each chapter tackles critical topics with ample information, including data and figures.The historical and analytic discussion presents different causes: poverty, education, politics, religion, and income inequality. Sandler (UT Dallas) argues that researchers have never established a link between poverty and terrorism, or between globalization and terrorism, and these are critical areas for research. This highly insightful work is a compelling introduction to the subject."" --B. A. Yesilada, Portland State University, CHOICE"
