The CRC Press Terrorism Reader
This interesting and comprehensive reader draws on the extensive writings of CRC Press authors to discuss the spectrum of issues involved in terrorism and counter-terrorism studies. The volume is divided into five parts: terrorism and terrorism history, terrorist tactics and terrorist capabilities, countering terrorism, regional focus on terrorism, and emerging issues and the future of terrorism. The appendices include a glossary of international terrorist groups and domestic terrorist groups in the United States. The reader is recommended as a complement to courses in terrorism, counter-terrorism, and homeland security. The author is an associate professor at the Department of Security, Fire, and of Emergency Management at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, City University of New York.—Book review by Dr. Joshua Sinai appearing inPerspectives on Terrorism, Vol. 8, No. 1, 2014
