Synopsis

This book explains what terrorism means, and examines why some people are prepared to kill innocent civilians, and sometimes even themselves, in the name of a political or religious cause. With information about the history of terrorism and the threats that the world faces today after the horror of 11 September 2001, this book provides all the facts readers need to make up their own minds about the subject.

Media Reviews
'[The Why? titles] could be used as a useful resource to help children express themselves and voice their opinions.' -- Learning Support Service, Autumn 2002 As timeous as [it is] right for the citizenship bandwagon ... Will supply students with plenty of info-gobbetts and contemporary phraseology. -- Books for Keeps 20040701 A timely introduction. -- Scholastic Best Books 20041001 With the emphasis on facts this book is admirably neutral on a complex subject, though as the book points out 'one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter'. The double-page spreads are nicely designed, with photographs and text boxes on every page. Excellent website links and a useful glossary and index. -- Bookfest 2004-2005 20041001
