21st Century Citizen Perspectives on Today's Issues - Terrorism

Product Description

Terrorism, whether politically or religiously motivated, has always been intended to spread fear in society, often by planting bombs, shooting or kidnapping people. In the twenty-first century, terrorists are mounting increasingly large-scale attacks and causing ever-higher death tolls. In this book, Nathaniel Harris looks at the history of terrorism and its impact on people's everyday lives. He also discusses the motivations of modern terrorists, and the difficult choices faced by governments in responding to the global terrorist threat.
