No longer are acts of terrorism rare and far-flung. Following the horrendous attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, U.S. citizens have had their eyes opened to a new world where this nightmare stalks the daily news and is never far from consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAttacking Terrorism\u003c\/i\u003e brings together some of the world's finest experts, people who have made the study of this rising menace their life's work, to provide a comprehensive picture of the challenges and opportunities of the campaign against international terrorism. Part one, \"The Nature of Terrorism,\" provides an overview and foundation for the current campaign, placing it within the political and historical context of previous threats and responses. Part two, \"The Responses to Terrorism,\" looks at the range of policy instruments required in an effective strategy against terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe contributors to this volume bring finely honed analyses and nuanced perspectives to the terrorist realities of the twenty-first century-history, analyses, and perspectives that have been too often oversimplified or myopic. They bring a new depth of understanding and myriad new dimensions to the crisis of terrorism. And they reach into aspects of counterterrorism that broaden our grasp on such important tools as diplomacy, intelligence and counterintelligence, psycho-political means, international law, criminal law enforcement, military force, foreign aid, and homeland security, showing not only how these tools are currently being employed but how often they are being underutilized as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAttacking Terrorism \u003c\/i\u003edemonstrates that there are no easy answers-and that the road toward victory will be long and arduous, frightening and dangerous-but as Audrey Kurth Cronin states in her introduction, \"As the campaign against international terrorism unfolds, a crucial forward-looking process of strategic reassessment is under way in the United States, and this book is intended to be a part of it.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Audrey Kurth Cronin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878403477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878403479\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/14\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.88h x 6.98w x 0.81d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2005 pg. 38 - Recommended\/Special Interest","brand":"Audrey Kurth Cronin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926736470271,"sku":"9780878403479","price":37.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_b1fcfc7c-6d91-4f5b-9ed0-8e29155a9c1f.jpg?v=1681084721","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/attacking-terrorism-audrey-kurth-cronin-9780878403479","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
