Terrorism, 1988-1991: A Chronology of Events and a Selectively Annotated Bibliography

by Edward F. Mickolus

Overview

As Mickolus once more demonstrates, terrorism is alive and well at the beginning of the 1990s. This volume combines a chronology of terrorism, (the fourth Mickolus has produced), with a selective bibliography on the topic, (his third). Covering the period from 1988-1991, this volume follows the same definition of terrorism and the same format and method devised for its predecessor volumes. The result is the most comprehensive look at terrorism available for the period. The earlier volumes are the standard reference chronologies and bibliographies for students and scholars as well as military observers and public policy makers.

Editorial Reviews

A comprehensive reference combining a chronology of international terrorism for the period 1988-1991 with a bibliography of the key books and articles on the topic. The chronology also includes descriptions of non-international attacks which are given to provide readers with the political and security context in which the international attacks took place. The present volume uses the same definition of terrorism and otherwise follows the same format and method as its three predecessors: Transnational Terrorism: A Chronology of Events, 1968-1979 (Greenwood, 1980), and International Terrorism in the 1980s, Volume I, 1980-1983 and Volume II, 1984-1987 (Iowa State U. Press, 1989). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
