Description

This study, in the "World issues" series, examines the choices that we have to make now about the kind of world in which we wish to live in the future. This title focuses on international terrorism, questioning the reasons for violent acts such as bombings, assassinations and hi-jackings. It examines how individuals and organizations justify their acts of terror and see themselves as freedom fighters. The book discusses the use of violence for political change and outlines the actions being taken by governments to combat terrorist activities. It also looks at the role of the media in terrorist events. This series aims to provide background reading for GCSE studies and Standard Grade in Scotland. - from Amzon
