Pertinent cases for security studies students.

I bought this book as a required text for a class in a Master's level program. For a text, these articles were rather interesting. Many of the articles are about the definition and identification of terrorism and terrorists; the psychological aspect of membership in extremism. Later in the book, there are several articles regarding the Christian Identity Movement and other American-originated extremist groups which I found to be the most interesting articles of all. All the articles have been previously published elsewhere in academic and professional journals so the authors are professionals (law enforcement, government "think tanks", and professors, etc). Simply put, one of the more interesting texts I've ever read.
