About the Book
Description:
What is terrorism? How do terrorists operate—what are their means, targets, and motivations? How can governments prevent terrorist attacks from happening? Henry Prunckun and Troy Whitford address these questions in their systematic, comprehensive exploration of terrorism and counterterrorism. Notably, this authoritative text: Explains complex issues in an objective, accessible way; traces the phenomenon of terrorism through history; examines law enforcement, as well as intelligence and military operations; features case studies from around the world; and includes learning aids for students. Designed to appeal to both students and instructors, the text enables readers to deepen their understanding of terrorism today and learn what is being done to combat it
