Description
Old and New Terrorism by Peter Neumann provides a comprehensive account of the evolution of terrorism in the modern world. The book offers a concise analysis of the forces that have driven its transformation, tracing the development of terrorist network structures and assessing the impact of modern communication systems on their spread. Neumann's subtle and sophisticated picture of the shifts in the practice and reception of terrorism draws on case studies ranging from the IRA to Al Qaeda, making sense of much of the literature published over the past decade. The book also provides a highly original analysis of how globalization has facilitated many of the changes that have materialised in recent years. This book is essential reading for those seeking to understand the changing nature of terrorism and how it can best be fought.
