Choice Review

Jenkins, senior adviser on terrorism to the president of the RAND Corporation, pulls together more than three decades of his experience and observations on terrorism. The author presents general thoughts on the subject and recommends how the US should move forward. While there are occasional problems with the organization of the work, Jenkins offers a number of interesting thoughts on terrorism, including terrorist motivation, successful anti- and counterterrorism tactics and specific analysis of jihadi terrorism. Undergraduates will find this a difficult read because of its disjointed structure and the level of knowledge required to follow the author's reasoning. It is, however, particularly well suited to advanced graduate students and faculty. A number of the author's points will serve to spur further research and challenge terrorism experts to reconsider long-held views. ^BSumming Up: Recommended. Graduate students through practitioners.
