{"product_id":"the-lessons-of-terror-caleb-carr-9780375760747","title":"The Lessons of Terror: A History of Warfare Against Civilians","description":"Military historian Caleb Carr's groundbreaking work anticipated America's current debates on preemptive military action against terrorist sponsor states, reorganization of the American intelligence system, and the treatment of terrorists as soldiers in supranational armies rather than as criminals. Carr's authoritative exploration demonstrates that the practice of terrorism, employed by national armies as well as extremists since the days of ancient Rome, is ultimately self-defeating. Far from prompting submission, it stiffens enemy resolve and never leads to long-lasting success. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eControversial on its initial publication in 2002, \u003cb\u003eThe Lessons of Terror\u003c\/b\u003e has been repeatedly validated by subsequent events. Carr's analysis of individual terrorist acts, and particularly of the history of the Middle East conflict, is fundamental to a deep understanding of the roots of terrorism as well as the steps and reforms that must be taken if the continuing threat of terrorist behavior is to be met effectively today and, finally, eradicated tomorrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Caleb Carr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0375760741\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375760747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Random House Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.15w x 0.70d","brand":"Caleb Carr","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46110630019327,"sku":"9780375760747","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eaf6b142-193f-4b99-8abc-6272b2d334ab.jpg?v=1725469324","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-lessons-of-terror-caleb-carr-9780375760747","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
