| Résumé : | In what terrorists want Louise Richardson investigates these crucial questions. She delves into the minds of terrorists and demonstrates that they are not crazed criminals but rational, ideological actors willing to exploit their own weaknesses to maximum effect. By introducing us to terrorists through history, she shows that we must look way beyon 9/11 and simplistic associations with Islam.(ndle) |
