Does terrorism actually work? And if so, then how? One of the world's leading experts on terrorism addresses these vital questions-ones which have, until now, remained remarkably under-scrutinized.

Recenzje

[An] absorbing attempt to answer a difficult question: does terrorism work? The author admits some people might struggle with daring even to ask whether terror works. He carefully sets out his criteria [...] insisting there can be no simple answer given the overwhelming complexities involved. Yet that does not make his work less valid. Ian Birrell, The Observer
