Terrorists and Terrorism in
the Contemporary World
Terrorists and Terrorism in the Contemporary World surveys this
topical and complex subject. The book concentrates on the terror-
ists themselves and their psychology in an historical context.
Focusing on a variety of both prominent and less notorious
terrorist groups the author encourages readers to think about the
mindset, motivation and tactics of terrorists. He also discusses
the lines of thought linking contemporary and leading terrorists
of the last 30 years.
David J. Whittaker analyses examples of terrorists working as
individuals, such as Timothy McVeigh, and those working in
groups, such as al-Qaida, over the last two or three decades. He
goes on to discuss the problems of countering these terrorists and
possible future forms that terrorism might take.
David J. Whittaker was Lecturer in International Relations at the
University of Teesside and is now retired. He is the author of a
number of publications including The Terrorism Reader (now in
its second edition) and several other titles in the Making of the
Contemporary World series.
