"We can be grateful for Mr. Laqueur's comprehensive survey of the new terrorism, and for his warning about the real danger it poses."--The Wall Street Journal

"If you read only one book on terrorism, this should be it."--James Woolsey, Former Director, CIA

"A riveting story of terrorism's colorful past and multi-faceted nature. At today's juncture in history, as weapons of mass destruction begin to escape their Cold War confinement, Walter Laqueur's profound understanding of the politics and psychology of terrorism superbly illuminates a fearsome aspect of our future." --Fred C. Ikle, Former Undersecretary of Defense

"I found Walter Laqueur's The New Terrorism to be an authoritative and comprehensive review of international and domestic terrorism. It is also a discomfiting augury for the future. Laqueur's excellent work is probably the best single volume I've seen on the phenomenon of terrorism and political violence."--Vincent Cannistraro, former Chief of CIA Counterterrrorism Operations

"Walter Laqueur's excellent book gives us a badly needed historical and cultural context for terrorism. This book gives readers a better analytic basis for judging terrorist behaviour and proposed government responses." --John Deutch, Institute Professor at MIT, former Director of Central Intelligence and Deputy Secretary of Defense
