The MIPT Terrorism Annual 2006
Call Number: REF HV6432 .M57 2006
Recommended by: Anne Garrison, Humanities Librarian
This fascinating and timely annual is produced by the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism, a nonprofit independent organization dedicated to disseminating information about research and development in counterterrorism. The work examines trends in terrorist activites and provides graphs, data, and historical context for various terrorist techniques. One section, for example, looks at the reasons behind the growing numbers of female bombers. This is a somber but quick and informative reference book. See also their highly regarded website at www.mipt.org for more information.
