Rezension

Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century is the best book to understand the contemporary terrorist threat, its evolution, and the range of state responses to it. Cynthia Combs' mastery of the subject makes this an easy-to-read book for students, instructors, and terrorism analysts.

Rohan Gunaratna, Nanyang Technology University, Singapore

Essential reading for anyone interested in the study of terrorism and political violence.

Thomas J. Badey, Randolph-Macon College

Cynthia Combs's Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century takes the hysteria out of the debate on this subject. Through a plethora of excellent case studies, she provides cogent analysis that demystifies modern terrorism, while capturing the horrors of this crime against innocents.

Jerry Pubantz, University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Cynthia Combs places the U.S. response to terrorism in comparative context by considering other developed democracies' responses. Reminding the reader that terrorism is hardly new, she also points to social and technological changes that make understanding terrorism today especially urgent.

Susan J. Siena, Indiana University

Combs' excellent synthesis of the research literature and deft use of case studies to illustrate points are broad enough for beginners to political science and international relations and, simultaneously, deep enough for advanced students.

Christopher R. Cook, University of Pittsburgh-Johnstown

Once again, Cynthia Combs' timely revisions reflect the evolving issues and current trends in terrorism and its study. This methodically written work is the one terrorism text that always maintains my student's interest.

Patrick J. Reynolds, Fairleigh Dickinson University

With strong analysis, case studies, and discussions, Cynthia Combs empowers students to take the conceptual frameworks provided in the chapters and apply them to fast-changing events in the field. Her chosen focus on the legalities of terrorist acts, which are less biased than subjective assessments of terrorists and their groups, is valued by instructors. The book's focus on technology and how that applies to the potential infringement - not only on personal safety but government operations, finances, and infrastructure - is always popular with students.

Melissa F. Gayan, Georgia Southern University
