Special Briefing: The Terrorist Attack on America:
Background -- Foreign Affairs
http://www.foreignaffairs.org/home/terrorism.asp
This special briefing from Foreign Affairs collects the
full text of ten previously published articles and thirteen
book reviews that "contribute to an understanding of the
tragic attacks on New York and Washington." The articles
range from David Fromkin's 1975 "The Strategy of Terrorism,"
which gives the history of terrorism and some governmental
strategies for combatting it, to Richard K. Betts' prescient
1998 "The New Threat of Mass Destruction," discussing
the dangers of terrorist attacks on the US. Other writers
include Ahmed Rashid, Walter Laqueur, and Ashton Carter.
