Reviews

“Professor Law updates his analysis of terrorism and political violence from the ancient world to the present. He identifies how methods have changed but one constant is extremists’ belief that terrorism is necessary to achieve their goals. This is a comprehensive reference for a better understanding of all aspects of terrorism.” Colonel Ed Rowe, US Army (Ret.); Combating Terrorism Office of the Secretary of Defense (Ret.) “Law’s Terrorism: A History is a comprehensive, clear, and concise exposition of terrorism’s extended history and complex contexts. It is indispensable reading for anyone seeking an excellent overview of the phenomenon, as well as an even-handed primer on continuing conflicts.” Lynn Patyk, Dartmouth College
