Origins of Terrorism : Psychologies, Ideologies, Theologies, States of Mind looks at the causes of terrorism. Two possibly conflicting thoughts on the origins of terrorism are proposed at the beginning of the book in the form of two essays: 1) Terrorism is a product of strategic choice, and 2) Terrorism is a product of psychological forces. The rest of the book uses essays and case studies to follow up on these two positions. This is not only a classic in the realm of terrorism research, but is also an interesting piece of work on what causes the phenomenon of terrorism. More Reviews
