About this title

Synopsis

2136 violent groups and organizations in 126 countries are engaged in political terrorism and anti-terrorism. This handbook contains a 200-page directory of these terrorist and anti-terrorist groups, describing their leadership, history, activities and alliances. In addition to the directory, there is a discussion of theories, concepts, and databases, as well as the largest existing bibliography on terrorism - 5831 entries in many languages. Originally published in 1984, the first edition went through two printings and won a national award for the best book in political science. This new edition has been rewritten, expanded and updated.
