"""It is increasingly challenging to write an excellent survey based on the literature on terrorism, given the massive proliferation of books and articles on the subject and the continuing evolution of the threat. But Matthew Lippman has met the challenge in Terrorism and Counterterrorism: Theory, History, and Contemporary Challenges. He provides readers with well-written and effectively organized coverage of the major topics that form the corpus of terrorism studies.""
