Terrorism: Inside A World Phenomenon

Description

THE FIRST COMPLETE REFERENCE WORK ON TERRORISM Now updated to include more recent terrorist acts such as the Beslan school siege. Terrorism, military and intelligence expert and decorated SAS veteran Barry Davies BEM exposes the true nature of modern terrorism, from its origins to the predicament we find ourselves in today. Terrorism, once epitomised by a few hijackers seizing an aircraft to highlight their grievance, has come of age in the twenty-first century. Yet what is Al Qaeda and how does it work? Who funds the IRA? Why does ETA want its independence? How does HAMAS recruit its seemingly endless supply of suicide bombers? A carefully researched, compelling, thought-provoking and often shocking explanation of terrorism and counter-terrorism.

Barry Davies, B.E.M, is a highly respected authority on the SAS and was decorated during his 18 years' service with the elite unit. He is the author of numerous books on the subject and appeared as an expert on the BBC's SAS- Are You Tough Enough?
