(4) 4-6 Terrorism series. Burgan's book discusses three Palestinian groups; one Israeli organization; al-Qaida; and terrorists in Spain, Northern Ireland, Colombia, Sri Lanka, and Japan. The other two volumes raise questions and provide more background history. The series (especially Tougas's book) generally avoids some of the oversimplifications marring other volumes on the topic, but there are some minor historical inaccuracies. Photographs illustrate the information. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Terrorism titles: Terrorist Groups, The History of Terrorism, and What Makes a Terrorist?

The authors name individuals and groups (past and present) engaged in terrorist acts, explore their motives, and probe the causes of terrorism. The books are informative, but the drab textbook format fails to generate interest. Photos, charts, maps, and numerous sidebars enhance the series. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind. Review covers these Roots of Terrorism titles: Domestic Terrorism, The Roots of Terrorism, Middle Eastern Terrorism, Will Terrorism End?, and What Is Terrorism?

(4) 4-6 War on Terrorism series. Each volume in this series covers a different aspect of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, including homeland defense, rescue workers, and the response of the global community. The prose is adequate, and the accompanying color photos are not always well reproduced, but the events are so intrinsically dramatic that the books are sure to garner readers. All but Leaders and Eagle contain timelines. Glos., ind. [Review covers these War on Terrorism titles: Operation Noble Eagle; Ground Zero; Heroes of the Day; United We Stand; America's Leaders; September 11, 2001.]
