THE MAKING OF A TERRORIST: RECRUITMENT, TRAINING, AND ROOT CAUSES surpasses all other lighter treatments on the topic, providing the depth which makes it highly recommendable to security collections, military libraries, and more. Three weighty volumes thoroughly cover the topic. VOLUME 1: RECRUITMENT delves into techniques of education and recruitment in terrorist organizations, from recruiting from prisons and young people to locating those with unresolved trauma, fundamentalist belief systems, and the military. Chapters delve into the world history of such recruitment tactics. VOLUME 2: TRAINING surveys different terrorist training and indoctrination methods around the world, considering elements of charismatic leadership, teaching inductees how to prepare for death in the cause, and surveying the methods of different terrorist training groups and camps around the world. VOLUME 3: ROOT CAUSES examines politics, attitudes toward democracy and other institutions, from religious sources of violence to how an idealistic ideology is fostered and promoted. From myths and traditions to differences between how terrorist wars are made, history and theory blend. This set is an invaluable 'must' for any seeking more depth and detail than the usual casual reviews of problems and theories.
