It unravels complex central questions such as whether terrorists are criminals, whether terrorism is a kind of war, what kind of threat terrorism represents, how far media publicity sustains terrorism, and whether democracy is especially vulnerable to terrorist attack. It examines the historical, ideological, and local roots of terrorist violence, and the success of specific terrorist and anti-terrorist campaigns in the more distant as well as the recent past. 7aTerrorism.2BUEsh939744  2BUEsh  bEEENGcMarch2016  2ddc  c21562d21534  00102ddc40708Modern A. aMAINbMAINc1STd2016-04-03ePurchaseg84.00h229l2m8o303.625 TOWp000032247r2025-07-15 00:00:00s2018-11-03v105.00yBB
