Book synopsis

Terrorism remains a dire threat to the security of all western nations, making it imperative for leaders to develop better national, regional and global strategies to counter its many forms. This textbook for policymakers and political students examines how six different countries, representing different cultures, have combated terrorist groups and draws lessons that are applicable to today's threats: Italy's efforts against extreme left wing Red Brigades and right-wing New Order; France's struggles with separatist movements and terrorist Carlos the Jackal; Germany's battles with anarchist Red Army factions; Egypt's experiences with fundamental Islamist terrorism; Sri Lanka's long confrontation with the Tamil Tigers; and the US pursuit of al Qaeda. It examines how the USA, France, Germany, Italy, Egypt and Sri Lanka have responded to a wide spectrum of terrorist challenges since the 1970s. Written by leading international authorities on counter terrorism, it is edited by a Professor at the Inter-University Centre for Terrorism Studies in Washington DC.
