Title: Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy by Paul R. Pillar, Michael H. Armacost ISBN: 0-8157-0004-0 Publisher: The Brookings Institution Pub. Date: 30 April, 2001 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $29.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.89 (9 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Must read
Comment: Mr. Pillar makes many very interesting and well-balanced points in writing this book. His suggestions are quite well founded and realistic.
Too often suggested methods to combat terrorism are either inadequate or too extraordinary to be accomplished. Pillar offers very plausible and level-headed suggestions and expectations for the United States' counter-terrorism programs.
Rating: 5
Summary: The best book I've read on terrorism
Comment: This is not a book about secret operations or police actions against terrorism. This text is about the phenomenom of terrorism, its different manifestations and the kinds of groups related to this activities. Mr. Pillar explains the methods for answering the terrorist threat and -contrary to what many may think- he relegates military actions to the last place of the list. This book was written before September 11, 2001, but certainly it helps explain why the attacks took place and sets the path to prevent such acts in the future. This book is also important for those interested on the legal aspects of terrorism, because it deals with different instruments adopted to combat this threat. For every person who would like to form his/her own opinion on how to fight terrorism, this text is a must read.
Rating: 4
Summary: Excellent resource
Comment: This book is an excellent resource for anyone studying terrorism. I used it as part of a bibliography for my final Army War College paper. Though the paper was about National Missile Defense, I found an incredible amount of data I could use. It is sober, insightful, and easy to read....unlike many books on the same topic. I have loaned my copy to other Army officers as a primer for curent events. Hope I get it back.
