What You Need to Know About: Terror
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
What does a terrorist look like? How do terrorists select targets? Why do they hate us? What are the different terrorist groups of the world, what are their specific motivations? What You Need To Know About: Terror gives answers to the questions we are all asking, and in so doing demystifies the threat of terror. The more something is incomprehensible, the more it is to be feared; this book will present a rational guide to the phenomenon that will enable the reader to take control of that fear and put it in proportion. What You Need To Know About: Terror is a must-read for everyone who believes in security, freedom and democracy. With four sections: an introduction, the Terror Q&A, each question laid out with a clear and concise one page answer, a guide to the world's terror organizations, and a resources section for further study, it arms us with the facts and perspective we need to better understand and fight terror.
