Title: The New Terrorism: More of the Same Old Stuff
Review: For those readers wanting a survey of modern terrorism and its possible courses of development, this book will suffice. The New Terrorism presents a well-researched case that the intent of modern terrorists may increasingly be to simply cause death and damage. The author's inclusion of the criminally insane within his definition of terrorism is simultaneously disputable and thought provoking. However, the book does a poor job in thoroughly exploring the concept of WMD terrorism. This, in conjunction with organizational problems and some of the author's style choices, should place this book somewhere other than the top of potential reader's buy lists. Jessica Stern provides a far better alternative in her "Ultimate Terrorists."
