Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Practitioner's Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Act

First published in 2003, this volume remains one of the only books available to provide detailed information on terrorist methodology-revealing terrorist motivation, organizational structure, planning, financing, and operational tactics. This fully revised and updated third edition contains the detailed analysis and history of prior editions with new case studies and information on emerging terrorist practices and trends. Updates include the newest geopolitical challenges to emerge from the geopolitical climate post-Arab Spring, details on the newest attack tactics and procedures of al-Qaeda, and potential points of failure in terrorist operations where plots can be most easily disrupted.
