This, the latest of Mickolus's chronologies reaching back to 1960, is the most up-to-date, comprehensive and authoritative reference source on global terrorism, and brings the author's coverage of political violence around the world up to the end of 2004. This three-volume set meticulously chronicles every terrorist act committed during the turbulent post-9/11 period. Information about the terrorists, their victims, attempts to bring the perpetrators to justice, and governmental responses are included. This invaluable source of topical information will prove useful to students, researchers, journalists, policy analysts, defence and intelligence analysts and legislators. Mickolus also provides updates on terrorist acts covered in earlier volumes as new events unfold and new information is revealed. An exhaustive bibliography of the literature on terrorism published over the past fifty years is also included, as are thematic indices that allow users to locate attacks by region and type. The work is fully indexed.
