Printed at The Algate Press. Grey self-wrapper covers with red and black titles at the front panel and backstrip and a red design at the front panel. Trade Paperback. This is an English translation by Lucy Forsyth (who has provided a lengthy Foreword) and Michel Prigent, based on a French version by Jean-Francois Martos, published in Paris, of the original Italian publication 'Del Terrorismo e Dello Stato'. The author has provided a Preface to the French Edition (which has been translated into English) and a Foreword to the text and a Preface. The English version does not replicate exactly the format of the Italian version, which was divided into chapters. The text is not arranged under headings; nor, for example, nor is there an Index of 'Names Insulted'. The author argues that all acts of terrorism, all the outrages which have struck and which strike the imagination of men, have been and are either offensive actions or defensive actions. If they form part of an offensive strategy, experience has shown for a long time that they are always doomed to fail. If, on the other hand, they form part of a defensive strategy, experience shows that these acts can expect some success, which, however, is only momentary and precarious. The attempts of the Palestinians and the Irish, for instance, are offensive acts of terrorism; on the other hand the Piazza Fontana bomb and the kidnapping of Moro, for instance, are defensive acts. ; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 101 pages.…
