About this title

Synopsis:

Recent bombings of U.S. embassies in Africa remind us that U.S. citizens and U.S. interest are not immune to terrorism. Featuring the works of world-renowned experts, this book traces the recent evolution of international terrorism against civilian and U.S. military targets, looks ahead to where terrorism is going, and assesses how it might be contained.

From the Publisher:

Terrorism is changing, as is its effect on national security. This bookbrings together three complementary papers that address trends ininternational terrorism, the special problem of terrorism in the informationage, and how to meet the terrorist challenge to U.S. interests.Each of these papers pays special attention to the effect of terrorismon the U.S. military. Each also considers the role of militaryforces, especially air and space power, in national counterterrorismstrategy.The study made extensive use of the RAND-St. Andrews Chronologyof International Terrorism a comprehensive database on world wideterrorist incidents since 1968.The papers were written as contributions to a year-long project onTerrorism and Counterterrorism: Implications for Strategy andUSAF Planning, conducted within the Strategy and DoctrineProgram of RAND's Project AIR FORCE. The study was co-sponsoredby the Deputy Chief of Staff, Air and Space Operations (AF/XO), andthe Director of Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance(AF/XOI). It was aimed at helping the Air Force to address its ownforce protection concerns, as well as contributing to the broadernational and international debate on terrorism. The findings shouldbe of interest to a wide audience interested in terrorism, counterterrorism,and national security policy.
