From School Library Journal Grade 9 UpFirst published as Terrorism(2001) just before 9/11, this updated edition narrows its focus to activities outside the U.S. (Henderson's Terrorist Challenge to America[2003, both Facts On File] in the same series deals more exclusively with causes and results of the 9/11 attacks.) Global begins by defining the issues and concepts and sets the historical context. Following this is a 40page survey of attacks targeting civilians in the world's "trouble spots" and an annotated list of selective terrorist groups. This is the strongest chapter in the book. Another chapter is devoted to recent American legislation and court cases. The volume also contains a lengthy chronology, heavily weighted toward the last two years; short profiles; a chapter on "how to research terrorism"; a 90page annotated bibliography; and a list of U.S. organizations and agencies studying or monitoring terrorist activities. Appendixes offer a smattering of statistics and small maps that lack detail. Unfortunately, the historical summaries gloss over large areas of the world that have encountered or fostered terrorism (Africa is discussed in one page; Sudan is not even mentioned; and Libya and the Philippines are covered in two sentences), and aside from the chronology, much of the information is dated. Libraries looking for recent information should rely on Harvey W. Kushner's The Encyclopedia of Terrorism (Sage, 2002) and topical books dealing with controversial issues, such as Laura K. Egendorf's Terrorism (Greenhaven, 2004), to provide students with understandable and fair analyses of this important subject.Jack Forman, Mesa College Library, San Diego Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
