Terror by Conor Anthony Gearty
No continent is immune from terrorism. South America has Sendero Luminoso (the Shining Path) and M-19, Europe has ETA and the IRA, and Asia has the Sikh gunmen and Tamil Tigers. In an age of worldwide detente and friendship between East and West, terrorism seems meaningless, vicious and anachronistic - but worst of all, inevitably recurrent. The book examines international terrorism, the motivation of its practitioners and the response of the states that are threatened. The book explores and tries to explain the mystery of terrorist violence in the modern political world.Conor Gearty, Professor of Human Rights and Director of the Institute of Public Affairs, London School of Economics Conor Gearty is Professor of Human Rights Law and Director of the Institute of Public Affairs at LSE, having previously worked at Cambridge University and at King's College London.
