History; Terrorism, armed struggle

Global Terrorism, 4th edition continues to provide students with the most comprehensive introduction to terrorism as a global phenomenon. It introduces students to history, politics, ideologies, and strategies of both contemporary and earlier terrorist groups. Written in a clear and accessible style, each chapter explains a distinctive aspect of terrorism and discusses a wide variety of detailed case studies from around the world. Although the focus is on the contemporary, the book also includes discussion of preceding terrorist groups. Building on the strengths of the first three editions, this edition includes new material on:

• Attacks by ISIS in Europe

• Unrest in Afghanistan and Pakistan

• Russia and Chechnya

• Violence in Iraq

• Decades of terrorism in Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, Colombia, and the Basque region of Spain

• Right wing terrorism in the United States

The unique combination of a genuinely historical focus and truly global coverage makes this an ideal introductory textbook for anyone interested in the study of terrorism.

Reviews for Global Terrorism

"""This updated fourth edition continues the practice of the first three in providing a comprehensive coverage of terrorism in a global setting, not just on the Middle East and/or Islam. The case study approach provides students with the necessary details on many different types of terrorist groups. Global Terrorism is well written and is unique in its coverage and organization."" - Jeffrey Ian Ross, Ph.D., University of Baltimore, USA. ""Now in its fourth edition, Global Terrorism has proven to be the best and most comprehensive textbook on this subject. Brilliantly written and researched, it is an indispensable guide on the challenges from global terrorism."" - Andrew T. H. Tan, Macquarie University, Australia. ""The standard of excellence has been raised yet again in Global Terrorism. Every serious security practitioner and their students of this toxic phenomenon, should have this work within easy reach: It is the gold standard for understanding this complex problem!"" - Dr. Tony Piscitelli, SUNY Maritime College, Throggs Neck, USA. ""Global Terrorism 4th edition will continue to stimulate my Honors course as it has for the past decade.

Terrorism in the U.S. and Europe receive special attention, while historical studies provide a world-wide historical as well as contemporary relevance."" - Paul Wallace, University of Missouri, USA."
