1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, December 27, 2010
Simple an anthology of older major works on terrorism. Even worse, the bibliography takes up 30% of the book. The author, Peter Neumann, has simply reworded and rehashed some (not even all) the major concepts of terrorism academia. This book is simply a 'hit and miss' attempt to bring something new to the field and it misses miserably.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Chapter 2

Old and New Terrorism - this chapter is a complete rip-off of Walter Laqueur.

Chapter 3

Holy War Inc.? The Emergence Transnational Terror Networks - while this chapter is a rip-off from Brian Jenkins.

Chapter 4

From Marx to Mohammed? Religion and Terrorism - for a more thorough study, please refer to Anna Geifman.

Chapter 5

Dying to Kill? The Rise of Mass-Casualty Terrorism - complete rip-off of Mia Bloom's works.

Chapter 6

Confronting the New Terrorism - please consult Ilan berman.

Basically this whole book is a rip-off, and a badly written one at that.
