Terrorism: The New World Order (2004) By Lloyd Pettiford & David Harding
 
Along with cutting-edge analysis of recent terror attacks, such as 11 September and the bomb attack on a Bali nightclub, this exhaustively researched and authoritative book offers a timely examination of the complex phenomenon of terrorism itself and the role it plays in modern society and draws some thought-provoking conclusions. The book includes comprehensive biographies of the major terrorist groups and individuals. It also discusses in detail some of the most infamous acts of terror perpetrated, from the kidnapping and murder of Italian prime minister Aldo Moro to the US-Iranian hostage crisis of 1979. More recent, and dramatic incidents are also examined, including the Omagh bomb, the 11 September attacks on the World Trade Center, and the Bali bombing. It also provides a startling look at the possible future of terrorism and its impact on the Western world.
 
Despite the powerful and simple emotions that can overcome people at times of personal, national, or global tragedy the reality of terror is, alas, much more complicated. This book is an attempt to explore this complexity in the belief that complex problems rarely have simple answers.
