The book is very good, but it does not include much of a media perspective. However, I recommend it to any student working on terrorism news coverage in order to get more background about terrorism and its understanding. I will not set it on the reading list but recommend this independently as to buy book for our library.
This book covers key aspects around terrorism and provides a unique and well balanced range of resources to support lecturers and students alike. This extra material helps make this book an ideal source of reference for students and lecturers alike
It is a recent publication with a comprehensive analysis and discussion, with specific case studies, of terrorism in the global system.
The book offers exceptional and incisive coverage of the issues.
The book gives an excellent and broad overview on current research on terrorism. It's a must read if readers like to understand the field of terrorism research. Sure, it is more concentrated on the US and less on other continents, but terrorism is a global phenomenon and this book takes this global view. It is as well very interdisciplinary, i.e. it addressed the micro-, meso- and macro-level of phenomena, causes and outcomes of terrorism.
