The author does so masterfully, covering all the complex interactions of state and non-state actors. This book can serve as a model for a better understanding of other civil wars where political violence and organized crime have become enmeshed. Importantly, Feldmann's book also offers suggestions on how to diminish conditions of terrorist violence in internal conflicts. -- Alex P. Schmid, Distinguished Fellow, International Centre for Counter-Terrorism (ICCT), The Hague Andreas Feldmann masterfully brings back ideology and organizational identity to theories on the use of terrorist tactics in civil wars. This book stands out for its detailed, yet panoramic, comparison of all armed actors, including state security forces, and it will become a crucial reference on Colombia’s war, and on terrorist techniques. -- Angélica Durán-Martínez, University of Massachusetts, Lowell What explains the logic of terrorism in civil war? Feldmann shows that armed groups deploy terrorist tactics in line with organizational identities shaped by their history, ideology, leadership, and connections with organized crime. This is an impressive study of armed actors in the Colombian civil war, a tragedy that has displaced six million and killed half a million people. -- Aníbal Pérez-Liñán, University of Notre Dame Author InformationAndreas E.
