Editorial Reviews

"Overall, this encyclopedia provides a wealth of information on terrorists, terrorist groups, and incidents. It would be useful to anyone researching information on such activities throughout the world in the 20th and 21st centuries. A solid addition to reference collections." - Library Journal

"The volumes are easily accessible and readable, providing essential information addressing the who, what, when, and where of terrorists and their actions. Recommended." - Choice

"The writing is accessible and unbiased. Considering that many other standard sources on the topic of terrorism are either outdated or much shorter . . . . This set is recommended for most public and school libraries." - Booklist

"Written by an international array of scholars and graduate students, this is an alphabetically organized compilation of individual terrorists, terrorism incidents, and terrorist organizations covering a global scale for the past several decades. . . . This work is strongly recommended." - ARBA
