Globalization of Terror: The Challenge of Al-Qaida and the Response of the International Community FROM THE PUBLISHER
"This timely volume details the organizational workings and belief system of Bin-Laden's brutal campaign. The authors explore the background and objectives of the attacks, the elaborate planning that went into them, and the process of their practical execution." The importance of The Globalization of Terror lies in its clear presentation and precise analysis regarding the dimensions of the danger international terror poses to the free world, and in its recommendations for the necessary strategy to prevent the recurrence of acts of large-scale terror.
SYNOPSIS
Schweitzer (Jaffe Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv U., Israel) and Shay (head of the Israeli Defense Forces' Department of History) review the structure and activities of the "global terror networks," defined exclusively as Islamic fundamentalists associated with Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaida. Primarily focusing on operational aspects of the groups, they describe the geographic dispersion of the cells said to be affiliated with Bin Laden's organization and detail the various activities of the groups. They then discuss the campaign against terror in a way that is largely unquestioning of U.S. policy assumptions. Annotation ©2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
