Rezensionen

'....deals with its political-religious roots, motives, specific characteristics and all other relevant aspects.. It is the most up to date, informative and reliable survey of this phenomenon.'

Walter Laqueur

'This is a useful and important book on a topic that is as

intellectually compelling as it is politically disturbing.'

Mark Juergensmeyer

"If the book does not attain a global view of Root Causes of Suicide Terrorism, it does provide a snapshot of 2005 thinking about suicide attacks that should find its place on every specialist's shelf."--Middle East Journal, Vol 60 No 4, Autumn 2006
