Reviews

"'Punctuated by the stories of a host of interesting and extraordinary characters, this is a fascinating exploration of the long nineteenth century’s development of terrorism and counterterrorism, highlighting the role of fear and the paranoia, repression and overreaction it engendered.' Michael Stohl, author of Crime and Terrorism 'Applying an innovative historical lens, James Crossland offers a remarkable perspective on the history of terrorism that is not overdetermined by the events of 9/11 and explores a ""violent strain of nihilism intoxicated by a whiff of martyrdom"". The book reads like the prequel to the National Treasure movie franchise and offers a completely unique understanding of terrorism’s first wave.' Mia Bloom, author of Dying to Kill: The Allure of Suicide Terror -- ."
