Other editions of book What Makes a Terrorist?

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.
