Bruce Hoffman (Get this book)
The world's leading scholars of terrorism investigate the organizational structures and operational links of Islamist terrorist movements around the globe. With contributions from 25 researchers, this richly annotated, scholarly compilation analyzes two dozen attacks and attempts in the West and the Muslim world, from highly successful bombings to plots derailed before they posed a major threat.While events since the death of bin Laden have complicated the picture, this book serves as a useful starting point for readers who wish to understand how to unravel and defuse terrorist threats.--Kirkus
