Very Understandable
Very clearly written book. White outlines the mechanisms used by terrorist and their structures with examples from true terrorist networks. Given this knowledge of the terrorists, White further details methods for counterterrorism utilized by our government. Notable theories of terrorism/counterterrorism are also included. This is an easy to follow book with detailed discussions included. I highly recommend this book to further understand terrorism and its affects on society.
