Description: Terrorist groups have adopted a variety of strategies to fund and resource their activities, and their choices have in turn affected the very nature of those organizations. This book explores the ways terrorists have financed themselves from the beginning of the age of modern terrorism in the mid-nineteenth century through the present day. It investigates what terrorist groups need to survive and take action and how they organize themselves in order to meet those needs - whether acting as lone wolves, becoming terrorist franchises, or bundling together donations. To date, most terrorist groups.
