4.0 out of 5 starsLest we forget about British terrorism
By Elma ross on May 25, 2011
Format: Paperback
The book is certainly well-written, and informative. At the same time, one should never forget that Britain officially terrorised Boer civilians in the Anglo Boer War. It is easy to hammer about the Middle East, but no-one from the Middle-East has done anything worse than Britain has, in terms of terrorising civilians. Before anyone in the Middle-East is being judged, it is time for the West to re-consider itself and its own history. To my knowledge no terrorist group from the erea in question has ever tranvelled abroad, took an army of 2 1/2 times the population of an entire region, and starved the civilians in concentration camps.

Nevertheless, this is a book that libraries should buy, as it is a good reference.

5.0 out of 5 starsInsightful conceptualization of state sponsored terrorism
By Petr Zelinka on May 20, 2008
Format: Paperback
Well known Daniel Byman offers very interesting book about a topic which was so far not thoroughly conceptualized - terrorism sponsored by states. Author basically provides useful typology of sponsorship, matrix of four categories:

1)State capable of acting, supporting terrorism
2)State incapable of acting, supporting terrorism
3)State capable of acting, opposing terrorism
4)State incapable of acting, opposing terrorism

He emphasize the role of passive supporters, some times neglected in the analysis of this phenomenon and calls for distinguishing unwilling host of terrorism.

Byman provides more than that - he presents comprehensive typology of character of support and more interestingly state's incentives for support of terrorism. This framework is very handy for anyone who thinks about writing a case study of state support of terrorism.

Byman than illustrates his framework on case studies of Iran and Hizbu'llah, Taliban and al-Qa'ida and Syria and Palestinians groups. In the end presents some ideas about stopping state sponsored terrorism. I have just two reservation towards his work:

- when dealing with Hizbu'llah he does not take in account the relationship between Party of God and Syria (see Palmer-Harik)

- Byman focus only on state sponsored terrorism, neglecting rising self sufficiency of terrorist organizations thanks to illegal global economy (see Napoleoni). It can create uncomplete image, but probably is not the intention of Byman to argue that self sufficiency does not exist, just prefers to deal with different topic.

Byman's work is original, academically sound and very useful, even more for students or academics who could use it's framework, for them definitely 5 stars, for other readers 4 stars.

1.0 out of 5 starsMr Byman forgot.....
By As I see it on July 28, 2012
Format: Paperback
OOOPS!
I know i will get a lot of flack from this, but if any of you will be honest in your research you will acknowledge that Mr Byman omitted Mossad and the CIA as terrorist organizations.
No 2 countries at the present time pose as much danger to the world as the United States and Israel. Am I lying?
