Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

Thomas, Kiser, and Casebeer fill an important void in terrorism literature. To date, much has been written about the root causes of terrorism. Less has been written about violent non-state actors who are today's main terrorist threat. And, until this book, nothing authoritative has been written about how, where, when, and why to intervene so that violent non-state actors can't perpetuate terrorist acts such as those of 9/11. Reading this book will give policy makers the necessary tools to preclude, mitigate, and possibly even prevent, future terrorist acts. A must-read for those charged with the security of the United States and its allies. -- Col. Russ Howard, director of the Combating Terrorism Center, U.S. Military Academy

Reseña del editor:

As non-state armed groups gain greater access to resources and networks through global interconnectivity, they have come to dominate the terrain of illegal trade in drugs, guns, and humans. Warlords Rising arms those confronting the mounting non-state challenge by delivering an innovative, interdisciplinary framework of analysis designed to improve understanding of non-state adversaries in order to affect their development and performance.
