Rezensionen

"This is a well-written book that will be of interest to general readers as well as scholars of terrorism and security studies. Summing Up: Recommended. All readership levels." - Choice, July 2012

"Written by a veteran scholar on terrorism, this is an insightful discussion of how warfare by terrorist groups generally comes to an end, based on an historical empirical examination of terrorism since the 1960s. Especially interesting is the author's discussion of the factors driving individuals who embarked on 'careers' in terrorism over the years to begin to disengage from violence." - Joshua Sinai, 'Terrorism Bookshelf: Top 150 Books on Terrorism and Counterterrorism', Perspectives on Terrorism, Vol. 6, No. 2 (2012)
