Terrorism: An Introduction by Jonathan R. White is a first-rate textbook on terrorism. White, a former police officer and presently a professor, provides a criminal justice perspective to the study of terrorism–yet the book is applicable to those with a political science or military orientation. White offers chapters on definitions, typologies, motivations, structures of terrorist organizations, policies of countering terrorism, the media, and the future of terrorism. The book examines different regions of the world and details the major terrorist groups and activities within those areas. White presents the viewpoints and theories of the leaders in the realm of terrorism research, which makes his book a rich resource. Terrorism: An Introduction further appeals as a textbook, since White gives suggestions for further reading after each subject. Full Story and More Reviews
