"The articles in the book cover a wide spectrum of issues concerning law enforcement and terrorism, particularly cross border terrorism, which has taken a heavy toll of the lives of civilians and security personnel. The spectre of terrorism is not going to be exorcised soon. Throwing revealing light on various substantive and operational problems of law enforcement, they make deep study of the problems and clear perception of their implications and impact. Thought-provoking comments and insightful observations are outcome of the author's long years of experience in different capacities as a law enforcement officer and a human rights activist." (jacket)
