YA As pervasive and malignant as the threat of terrorism is today, there is a surprisingly small body of up-to-date literature available. In this book, an Israeli defense expert shows the characteristics of the elusive terrorist Abu Nidal and his trans-national henchmen who claim responsibility for over 100 terrorist acts since 1973. Melman also shows the distinction among the various Palestinian groups and offers appendixes, photographs, and a bibliography of his sources. The writing lacks the punch that would come with a stronger point of view. Nevertheless, the book fills a void and will be useful in YA collections for term papers and book reports. Anne D. Johnson, formerly at St. John's School, Houston
