Terrorism Reader (Hardcover)

At 8.48 on the morning of 11 September 2001 terrorism captured the minds of America and the world. The horrific devastation wrought at the World Trade Center, at the Pentagon, and in Pennsylvania has spurred a fervent interest into the nature of terrorism: Who are these terrorists? Who sponsors them? How can the US defend itself? This book presents a collection of papers examining these questions, with special attention to how we can expect the American government to respond to the recent attacks in particular and terrorism in general.
