Items related to Making Terrorism History
Ever since 9/11, it's been clear that we need a new way to deal with terrorism. In this important new book, two experts explain: the root causes of terrorism; the links between trauma and fundamentalism; why people become suicide bombers; why peace processes collapse; whether non-violence is a useful response; and what can be done. Clear, far-reaching, and extremely persuasive, their book shows why political violence is now a major force in our world. At the same time, it offers a range of practical actions that can be taken to combat it, not only by our governments but also on the ground in Iraq, Israel, Palestine, and more widely. In addition, it highlights the many simple but effective steps that we, too, can take within our local communities to make peace—not war—on terror.
