Summary: The book discusses terrorist attacks, such as 9/11, possibly the most high profile "black swan" event in living memory, by putting them into context with thousands of less publicized attacks that have plagued the world since 1970. Historically, the study of terrorism has suffered from a general lack of empirical data and statistical analysis.
