Terrorism

''Like the other excellent books in this series, this is rigorous and compelling [...] balanced and sensible'' -The Independent on Sunday

Is one person's terrorist another's freedom fighter? Is terrorism crime or war? Can there be a 'war against terrorism'? This book unravels the questions at the heart of the problem of terrorism--its causes, methods, effects and limitations--suggesting that it must be understood as a political strategy whose threat can be rationally grasped and answered.
