'Teach Yourself: Understanding Terrorism' is the essential guide for all those seeking to understand this global issue that affects each one of us. The events of the last five years have ensured we consider the complexities of 'terrorism'. The justification for the war in Iraq, the 7/7 London bombings carried out by members of our own society and the introduction of new laws on holding terrorist suspects all illustrate how entwined 'terrorism' is with religion, race, human rights, globalisation, civil liberties and the media.
This book considers each of these aspects, looking at the history of terrorism, the events of the past give years and the international responses to 'terrorism'. Keith Suter is an internationally renowned economic and social commentator, strategic planner, conference speaker, author and broadcaster. This is an objective and yet thoroughly engaging book--you will soon gain a more in-depth understanding of the complexity, history and context of terrorism.
