This edition of The Terrorism Reader contains a chapter on the Taliban and the al-Qaida terror network and material on George W. Bush's war against terrorism. The book draws together material from a variety of experts and makes their opinions on terrorism easily accessible, allowing understanding, conjecture and debate. The Terrorism Reader explores all aspects of terrorism from its definition, psychological and sociological effects, legal and ethical issues to counter-terrorism. This reader illustrates the growth and variety of terrorism with a series of 12 case studies from four continents including: * ETA and Spain * the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia * the Liberation Tigers in Sri Lanka * the IRA and UFF in Northern Ireland * the Shining Path in Peru * the Quaddafi Regime in Libya.
