Modern mutations of terrorism -- The nuclear legacy : a shopping mall for rogue states and terrorists -- Chemoterrorism : poisoning the air, water, and food supply -- Bioterrorism : the last frontier -- The globalization of weapons expertise -- Drug runners and terrorists : new partners in crime -- Laundered assets : cleaning dirty currency to fuel the terrorist engine -- Business as usual : hostages, bombings, and assassinations -- The growing arsenal to combat terrorism -- Searching for long-term solutions to replace quick fixes.
The purpose of this book is to provide the general public with a comprehensive view of the most critical aspects of modern terrorism. The international dimension of the threats to the United States receives special attention and the discussion is punctuated with firsthand accounts of disquieting incidents in many countries that help document the scope of the dangers. While the book covers developments only through 1998, the conclusions and warnings at that time were prophetic of the events that unfolded three years later and that will continue to unfold in the decades ahead.
