MAKING TERRORISM HISTORY Scilla Elworthy & Gabrielle Rifkind
Ever since 9/11 it’s been clear we need a new approach to terrorism. In this book the authors show the root causes of terrorism; the links between trauma and fundamentalism; why people become suicide bombers; why peace processes collapse; and whether non-violence is a useful response. Clear, radical and persuasive, Making Terrorism History shows why political violence is now such a major force in our world. At the same time it gives a range of practical actions that can be taken to combat it, not only by our governments, but also on the ground in Iraq, Israel and Palestine, and more widely. In addition there are many simple but effective steps that we, too, can take within our local communities to make peace - not war - on terror.
