Aprašymas

A Comprehensive History of the Terrorist Organizations Waging War in the 21st Century In the wake of the attacks against America on September 11, 2001, we have become aware that a new, almost invisible war is raging worldwide. The enemies are often unknown and unseen, the fronts shifting and unclear, the defense against attack uncertain. Terrorism is the new warfare of the 21st century, yet its soldiers remain shrouded in mystery. This series lifts the veil covering some of the world's most secretive, mysterious, and dangerous terrorist organizations. In addition to examining the terrorists' violent tactics, each title also offers an analysis of the group's motives, beliefs, and grievances. Following an overview of the group's history, aims, leadership, and membership, the centerpiece of each book is the events surrounding the group's most notorious attack and its aftermath. As much a study of what gives rise to these groups as an examination of the violence they wreak, these books provide an invaluable glimpse into the inner workings of the world's most shadowy armies. Taken together, they form a comprehensive history of the "new warfare." In the wake of its defeat in World War II, Japan found itself on the brink of an entirely new world. Japanese youth were particularly eager to enjoy this new freedom and test its limits. Out of a wave of student protests and pro-Communist rallies emerged the Japanese Red Army, one of the 1970s most feared and deadly terrorist groups. Initially committed only to the overthrow of the Japanese government, the JRA soon expanded its mission to embrace global Communist revolution.
