Reminds readers that terrorism is neither new nor the preserve of any particular religion, and that it is not usually carried out by crazed psychopaths. This book presents three main categories of terrorism: nationalist-separatist movements; social revolutionaries; and religious extremism. Describes groups that fall into each category and supports the descriptions with first hand accounts to show how individual psychology is involved in creating a mindset in which terrorism is possible.
