About this title

Review

"Professor Combs has a great deal of scholarly information and knowledge on the subject of terrorism. The text is timely, well thought out, and the author appears to possess a comfortable knowledge of state terrorism as well as terrorism from 'below.' The text has presented a well-documented and reasonable approach that will become a valuable resource and classroom text on the subject of terrorism." ― James M. Poland, California State University, Sacramento

"Combs makes good use of examples, case studies, anecdotal information, and profiles of terrorists and organizations throughout her work. She helps students thoroughly understand substantive issues and theoretical materials. I have found that the students find the information and illustrations interesting and informative, especially as they relate to contemporary events. The work also reflects up-to-date scholarship . . . both the breadth and depth of research is impressive." ― Robert A. Wood, North Dakota State University
