Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"The title of this book might imply, at first sight, a US-centric approach to the topic, but in fact, the contributions are not only from the US, but also from Canada ... India, and Israel. ... A particularly good feature of this book is the back matter included at the end of each chapter: suggested readings, online resources, and discussion questions ... . This edited volume should appeal to the growing terrorism informatics research community, graduate students, and readers in the wider community ... ." (John Fulcher, ACM Computing Reviews, May, 2009)
