Terrorism has emerged as one of the main foreign and national policy challenges of the 21st century.

Encyclopedia of Terrorism provides comprehensive coverage of the events, individuals, groups, incidents, and trends in terrorism in the modern era.

This essential work presents accurate, concise, and crucial information on developments since the watershed events of September 11, 2001, providing readers with an invaluable reference tool for understanding major developments that have occurred in domestic and

international terrorism.

The work is fully cross-referenced to provide a comprehensive research tool for high school students, academics, security analysts, and other readers interested in the study of terrorism.

This significant entry in the crowded roster of terrorism resources contains nearly 700 entries of historical and current events and figures.

International in scope and range, the essay-style, signed entries range from one to five pages, and end with see also references as well as suggestions for further reading.

Entries include the expected (Al Qaeda, Birmingham pub bombings, Oklahoma City bombing), as well as some lesser-known

events and people.

The writing is accessible and unbiased.

There are black-and-white photographs scattered throughout.

The work goes through 2011, including the killing of Osama bin Laden in May of that year.

Volume 2 contains a categorical index of groups and organizations, individuals, and events; a chronology of major global terrorist events from 1946 through 2011; a glossary; an extensive bibliography;

and the index.

Considering that many other standard sources on the topic of terrorism are either outdated or much shorter— the SAGE Encyclopedia of Terrorism, is aimed at a slightly more academic audience—this set is recommended for most public and school libraries.
