Reseña del editor:

In this innovative and highly relevant updated edition, Professor Granot & Dr. Levinson emphasize the means by which emergency personnel can respond to and mitigate the effects of the worst acts of terror faced by urban societies. This book incorporates theory and practice. It cites incidents from around the world including the devastating 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, while highlighting Israel's extensive expertise in dealing with terror attacks. In light of the increasing threat of terrorist acts and the rising interest in the importance of emergency management, Terror Bombing provides a solid background reference for all officials and emergency response personnel to understand one of the most dangerous threats to modern life.
