Edgar O'Ballance, journalist, author of over twenty books, respected authority on the Middle East, has compiled an impressive chronicle of international terrorism, with a particular focus on the Middle East. An indefatigable researcher, O'Ballance has amassed the facts on hundreds of acts of terrorism. He reveals how terrorists manage to escape detection, how they obtain false passports and identification documents, how women get through security scanners with grenades hidden in their hair, where they get their equipment and their money, who grants them sanctuary.
O'Ballance identifies every major incident (and many minor ones) and the people involved - Egyptian, Libyan, Israeli, Japanese, Yugoslav, German, Jordanian, Italian. He reveals the organizations the represent, their "causes," their demands, and their passion for violence.
