In reading over ten thousand books, I found this one to be really exceptional. Editor Yonah Alexander did an excellent job describing terrorism in its many forms, and how each different kind of group can be defeated. The only down-side in this book was all the groups that were discussed we not "apocalyptic terrorist", or groups of terrorists that are not religious in nature. This is an very detailed book about secular terrorist groups, from the Maoist Sendero Luminoso to the militant Japanese Red Army and the narco-terrorists of South America. Countries dealing with terrorism in this book include:

United States
Argentina
Peru
Colombia
Spain
United Kingdom
Israel
Turkey
India
Japan

A superb resources with lots of detailed information. A excellent and superior resource!

I thought that this book, an edited volume of experts from various countries on strategies to combat terrorism was done very well. The perspectives of (in-country) European, U.S., Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Asian analysts shows that terrorism is a global problem and there must be global solutions. The contributors also discuss the consequences of 9/11 so that adds to the helpfulness of the book.
