It explores the sociological aspects of terrorism, including funding, tactics, and media portrayal, while questioning why some individuals resort to violence while others do not. Laqueur critically examines the effectiveness of terrorism, potential future trends, and the chilling prospect of nuclear threats. By challenging prevailing assumptions, the author aims to provide a clearer understanding of terrorism's role in international politics.
