First published in 2003, this volume was one of the first and remains one of the only books available to provide detailed information on terrorist methodology—revealing terrorist motivation, organizational structure, planning, financing, and operational tactics to carry out attacks. This new edition is completely updated to reflect the latest geopolitical climate, what we've learned in terrorist operations and attack methods over the last several years, and current factors affecting global terrorist incidents and regional insurgencies. New chapters and sections include potential points of failure in terrorist operations and where plots can be disrupted, U.S. and European militia groups, and the increasing trend of lone wolf operations.
