- Summary:
-
"Will the twenty-first century see terrorists with nuclear capability? How likely is it that terrorists will obtain weapons of mass destruction? What factors would determine their decision to use them? Gavin Cameron assesses the causes for, and implications of, the escalating lethality of terrorism. He considers, from a psychological and organizational perspective, why groups resort to political violence, why they find it exceptionally difficult to move away from using terrorism, and how this affects their propensity to increase the level of violence that they employ."--BOOK JACKET.
