Six years after publication of the first edition of the bestselling Encyclopedia of Terrorism, much has changed on the national security scene. Despite the dark promises of Osama bin Laden following the 9/11 attacks, the United States has not experienced any major domestic terror incidents. AlQaeda itself is believed to be a severely crippled organization. But while U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraqnot to mention the arrival of the Obama administration, a new balance of power within Congress, and an increasingly fragile economic picturehave significantly affected the national security picture, the threat of economic chaos and massive loss of life due to terror attacks has not abated. Indeed, in July 2008 analysts pointed out that even a relatively small terrorist organization could present a dire threat, with some experts arguing that a biological, chemical, or even nuclear attack on a major U.S. city is all but inevitable. In this highly charged, rapidly shifting environment, we are pleased to present the The SAGE Encyclopedia of Terrorism, Second Edition, a thoroughly updated and expanded edition of the original, highly regarded reference work. Nearly 100,000 words of new material will be added, along with fully updated original entries, and expanded coverage. New introductory essays will explore the impact of terrorism on economics, public health, religion, and even pop culture. Ethical issues such as the role of torture in interrogations, competing notions of security versus liberty, and the debates over FISA legislation and Guantanamo Bay will also be covered. Two dozen entries on significant recent eventssuch as the London bombings, Chechen attacks on Russian interests, and the rescue of Ingrid Bettancourtand some 60 additional new entries will restore the work as an uptotheminute, natural firststop for researchers.
