Book Overview

The Third Edition of Terrorism in Perspective, like its two successful predecessors, takes a broad-based approach that emphasizes the historical, cultural, political, religious, social, and economic factors that underlie an understanding of both global and domestic terrorism. This unique text-reader combines original essays with the best of the existing literature on terrorism. Each chapter of this text begins with an overview essay written by the authors, followed by two relevant and engaging articles culled from a wide variety of popular, academic, and governmental sources. This is the only major terrorism text to incorporate readings from top terrorism experts into a traditional textbook format, allowing readers to deepen their understanding of each aspect of terrorism.

Terrorism in Perspective Text book review

It was a good purchase, very inexpensive and arrived in timely manner. Would recommend purchase in the future.

Terrorism in Perspective

I would highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand terrorism. After reading this book myself, I can understand what I read in the papers about terrorism much better. I don't like the cover--it makes the book look like a thriller. But the contents are excellent. Pictures are good too.
