A major problem for rigorous analysis of terrorism has been an absence of readily-available, widely-disseminated research and serious academic discussion; many valuable articles have appeared in a range of academic and professional perodicals. Often these journals have limited circulations and even the great academic libraries of the western world do not possess a full complement of articles. Thus, the study of terrorism and the ability to offer university options in the field are frequently hampered by the absence of literature. This problem is vastly greater in the many small educational institutions. Even in libraries that do have a large number of periodicals, the problem of searching out germane articles is demanding and time consuming. This definitive, four-volume set provides a remedy to this problem, gathering together, in a single, accessible and cost-effective resource, the key materials for the study and understanding of terrorism.
