Mind of the Terrorist book
By Xanatose onTo know about the minds of the terrorists,I picked this book interestingly.Author Jerrold M.Post covered the terrorist organizations,its leaders and links etc around the world in the past and present century.He didn't differentiate the national liberation movements and national separation movements.He listed some liberation groups such as Sri Lanka'sLTTE as terrorist organization.He didn't mention about the aspirations of the people in the ruthless states.The profile of Al-Qaeda and its past effects and future threats are terrorizing.The author splitted Al-Qaeda into two versions for understanding that terrorist organization's role in 9/11 and future threats.I interested especially to read about the minds of suicide bombers.But that topic was covered very small amount.He explained the roles and motivations of suicide bombing and also sharing some thoughts of human bombs.He almost covered the major organizations from all over the world,from IRA to modern Al-Qaeda. At the final chapters,he explained the solutions toprevent the future terrorists and giving tips to weaken the terrorist organizations.This book is lacked to explain about the government sponsored terrorism and governments ruled by the terrorists.There are some places in the world,where the state terrorism still exist.Only 269 pages out of 321 pages contains the content.Rest of the pages are appendix and notes for further reading.
