Reviews

An ambitious, fascinating, original and admirably wide-ranging exploration of the evolution of terrorism.--Richard English, Author of Does Terrorism Work? A History Veilleux-Lepage has produced a very fine book. It is original, innovative, conceptually intriguing, and empirically rich. Not only is this a monograph that looks at how and why terrorist innovation occurs; but it is also a very good overview and history of hijackings - terrorist and not - in general.--Bernhard Blumenau, Lecturer in International Relations, University of St Andrews, UK How Terror Evolves represents an accomplished academic debut from a rising star of the terrorism studies field; a disturbing illumination of how micro-developments can gradually accumulate to generate quite fresh horrors; and an extended meditation on both the structure and agency behind terroristic spectaculars. A storehouse of insights, this is a book to visit regularly.--Tim Wilson, Director of the Handa Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, UK Terrorism does not stand still. Indeed, as How Terror Evolves warns, terrorists have distinct evolutionary advantages when it comes to innovation in tactics and strategy. If you want to understand how and why terrorism evolves and the critical dangers this represents, you need to read Veilleux-Lepage's compelling analysis and insight.--Andrew Silke, Professor of Terrorism, Risk and Resilience, Cranfield Forensic Institute, UK
