About the Book

Terrorism has always been a problem in the world, but it really hit home in the United States with the first attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, and again with the bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. Author Ron Fridell explains what terrorism is, what motivates terrorists, and how their actions affect politics worldwide. He discusses the history and possible future of terrorism in the United States and throughout the world.

Review :
In the wake of the attacks on September 11, 2001, it has become an obvious truth that terrorism is now a terrible fact of life. The bombings of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the abortive airliner crash in Pennsylvania are but the most recent in a long chain of terrorist assaults launched against innocent people across the globe. In this insightful book, readers will be confronted with the reality of global terrorism. The author traces the political, religious and psychological roots of terrorism. While most people look upon the actions of terrorists in horror, these appear reasonable to the fanatical participants in various extremist cells. Events such as the sarin nerve gas attack in Tokyo, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the 1993 unsuccessful attempt to topple the World Trade Center with a massive car bomb are discussed, along with other chilling incidents. Efforts on the part of various law enforcement agencies to prevent further assaults and apprehend actual and potential perpetrators are presented in one of the more intriguing portions of this well researched text. Terrorism, unfortunately, is a part of our lives. In order to cope with this harsh reality it is best to attempt to understand the motivations, actions and thoughts of terrorists. This book is a fine source for such information and will be a beneficial addition to a personal or public library. Part of the "Issues in Focus" series, Children's Literature
