Description
The use of terror as a method of maintaining, or at least an attempt at achieving, political or religious autonomy is by no means a new phenomenon. Whether perpetrated by an individual, a group, or even a nation, terrorism has a long and varied history. This book explores the global phenomenon of terrorism, and details the now notorious groups and individuals, considered heroes by those who support their cause, yet who are seen simply as 'terrorists' in the eyes of the rest of the world. Both solitary, shocking acts of terrorism and barbaric, prolonged reigns of terror are discussed in detail within this book.
