Killing Strangers

How Political Violence Became Modern

Beschreibung

A bewildering feature of so much contemporary political violence is its stunning impersonality, with every city centre a potential shooting gallery; every metro system a potential bomb alley. Killing Strangers explores how acts of political violence have changed over time, becoming 'unchained' from inter-personal relationships.

Autor

Tim Wilson is an expert on the history of political violence: and why it takes the forms that it does. He became interested in this field whilst running a youth club in North Belfast in the late 1990s. Since 2016 he has served as Director of the Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV) at the University of St Andrews: the oldest research centre of its kind in Europe. He is a frequent commentator on both national and international media.
