  • Terrorist Groups

    Michael Burgan

    Library Binding (Compass Point Books, Jan. 1, 2010)
    Terrorism is everywhere. From Peru to Palestine and from Spain to Sri Lanka, terrorist groups use violence to create fear in order to achieve their goals. Terrorist organizations are usually organized around religious, political, social, or other ideological causes. Although all terrorism is criminal under international law, governments have been responsible for terrorist activity, and some terrorist campaigns have led to the founding of modern nations.

  • What Makes a Terrorist?

    Shelley Marie Tougas

    Library Binding (Compass Point Books, Jan. 1, 2010)
    Terrorism has been called “warfare of the mind” and can take many forms. The people who commit violent acts of terrorism are varied as well. One thing they have in common, however, is the feeling that they must act outside the normal channels in order to be heard or achieve their goals. They believe their goals are more important than life. These people may see violence as the only way to change the world.
