Carlos the Jackal: The Life of the 20th Century's Most Notorious Terrorist The history of terrorism as a self-appointed profession can be traced back to the dawn of the human community, with each era claiming its own class of celebrities. The 20th century saw individual terrorists gain access to advanced weaponry, allowing mass killings and destruction of major public institutions. This period also saw the rise of playing upon mankind's greatest fears, with cultures, religions, and ideologies squaring off in an ever-shrinking globe. Carlos the Jackal, born Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, was a key figure in this era of terrorism. Known to virtually every European and American who read the news between 1970 and 1990, his moniker, Carlos the Jackal, signified his status as a household word. This book explores his life and the impact of his actions, providing a unique insight into the world of modern terrorism. With this book, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the history of terrorism and the individuals who have shaped it. The book includes pictures, Carlos the Jackal's own quotes, footnotes, online resources, and a bibliography for further reading, making it a valuable resource for those interested in this topic.
