The War Against Terrorism

unique contribution to the literature of counterterrorism that is likely
to be read long after more sensational volumes on the subject have been
forgotten. It supplies a much needed perspective on the strategies,
financing, and training of today’s terrorists. It should be required
reading for anyone concerned with the problems of countering terrorism.”

‘‘Livingstone has at least one great advantage over the academic experts
on terrorism and other forms of low-level violence. Their knowledge of
the subject is purely theoretical. He is a practitioner, not of
terrorism, but of counterterrorism, serving or having served as adviser
to the government on national security matters and the private sector on
protection against terrorist attacks.”

Boston University and the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy
“This book discusses in some detail what motivates young people (few
terrorists are over forty) to adopt a fife of nihilistic violence,
outlines ways and means of combating this growing threat to western
countries— terrorism is not conspicuous in Russia and its satellites,
for reasons Livingstone explains—and provides a chilling catalog of
possible future targets and prospective terrorism weaponry —Royal Air

“Livingstone prescribes a hard-line approach to combating terrorism in
what is essentially a handbook for initiating war against international
terrorism.”
