Terrorism Documents of International and Local Control.

This series is an extensive collection of significant documents covering all major and minor issues and events regarding terrorism. Government reports, executive orders, speeches, court proceedings, and position papers are presented in full text reprint. The entire set records and explains terrorism as it has evolved over 25 years. It examines the efforts of Western societies to safely combat conventional and unconventional terrorist attacks the world over, including those in: Israel, Northern Ireland, Lebanon, Central and South America, Western Europe, The United Kingdom, and The United States. It illustrates the evolution of international law regarding:
The definition of terrorism
The prosecution and sentencing of terrorists
Extradition of international criminals
Enforcement of the death penalty
Definitions of cruel and unusual punishment
Cyberterrorism
Weapons of mass destruction
Biological and chemical agents
Asylum for politically-motivated terrorists
Terrorist use of the media
Included are detailed reports from several organizations on terrorist groups, their activities, weapons acquisition, technical capabilities, state sponsorship, political ideology and targets. The set also offers investigative reports of major terrorist related incidents.

The examination of terrorist incidents in this set establishes the necessity for package inspections, explosive detection, anti-terrorism personnel, and related programs. It also examines expansion of these measures and policies from air transport facilities to other transportation centers - such as train stations, bus terminals, toll plazas, border crossings, and mail service facilities.

Documents are provided to illustrate ongoing attempts to control and prevent terror-violence from the U.S., U.N., U.K., France, the European Council, Interpol, and other active groups. The set is thorough regarding the development of strategies for handling kidnappings, hostage situations, bombings, assassinations, and unconventional attacks.
