Description

This volume focuses on the gravest of contemporary threats, not only to individual nations and the civilized world, but to the long-term survival of the human race itself. Rejecting the moral ambivalence of the past that has allowed terrorism to grow under the active sponsorship or the benign indifference of a majority of the world's nations, this volume explores the complex web of terror that has established itself across the globe.

Arguing that if democracies are to survive, they must learn to protect and arm themselves against this greatest of modern scourges, it brings specialists from a wide range of disciplines and countries to focus on the institutional structures, processes and tools that will be necessary for the defense of freedom against the catastrophic threat of terror,.
