Flashpoints in the War on Terrorism

Flashpoints in the War on Terrorism offers a comprehensive overview of international political violence by bringing together foreign-policy experts on several regions who examine conflicts in the Fertile Crescent, the Balkans, the Post-Soviet Region, the Himalayas, Southeast Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa. With cogent assessments of civil conflicts that portend to be parts of a "global jihad" each chapter both dissects the historical roots and socioeconomic causes that catalyze terrorism in those areas, as well as posits ways for the United States to meet the myriad foreign-policy challenges posed by the growing threat of contemporary international terrorism.Jeffrey Stevenson Murer is the author of 'Flashpoints in the War on Terrorism', published 2006 under ISBN 9780415954907 and ISBN 0415954908.
