基本説明
Special attention is given to important but rarely discussed subjects - conflicts over purposes, strategies, and division of labour.
Full Description
These original essays describe the internal life of terrorist organizations in fascinating detail. They show how no description of terrorist behaviour is adequate without a grasp of the deep tensions that often characterize such groups, and an appreciation of how firmly implanted in our culture terrorist traditions have become, since the middle of the nineteenth century.
