EPZ Terrorism by Nicholas Fotion
Terrorism poses an undeniable threat to societies throughout the world today. Martyr terrorism, the fastest growing form of terrorist activity. But how has terrorist activity evolved in the last 100 years, and what are the ethical costs of terrorism? This book examines the various definitions of terrorism and the nature of martyr terrorism.
‘This volume delivers a sorely needed conceptual and moral analysis of one of the most pressing issues of our time.. The generous use of historical and contemporary examples taught me a great deal about the history and current practice of terrorism in all its forms'. Professor J. Carl Ficarrotta, United States Air Force Academy, USA.
"The book provides an excellent overall analytical framework for critiquing the nature of acts of terrorism in general and for developing an ethical approach to the question of the use of violence as a tool to promote various state or non-state interests and goals. Overall, it is different from the onslaught of books now written on the subject and well-worth reading." Hall Gardner, American University of Paris, France, 2009.
