description: The world faces no greater danger today, Alan Dershowitz argues, than religiously inspired, state-sponsored terrorist groups who are plotting to develop weapons of mass destruction to use against civilian targets. But how do we defeat these schemers without relinquishing our own legal, moral, and humanitarian standards? Why Terrorism Works is Dershowitz's thoughtful response to that question. In this passionate yet carefully reasoned book, the Harvard Law School professor attempts to strike a balance between security and liberty.
