Synopsis

Coinciding with this is the alarming increased availability of weapons of mass destruction, cheap and easily accessible chemical and biological weapons and cyberterrorism. Walter Laqueur, a world renowned expert on terrorism and international strategic affairs and author of Fascism:A Reader and Weimar (Phoenix Press), recounts the history of terrorism and examines the future of terrorism worldwide.It is only a matter of time, Laqueur argues, before the attainability of weapons of mass destruction creates a terrifying and unstable scenario. 'a discomfiting augury fore the future. Laqueur's excellent work is probably the best single volume I've seen on the phenomenon of terrorism and political violence'. Vincent Cannistraro, former Chief of CIA Counterterrorism Operations.
