"The threat of terrorism has been boomering over many countries in the present international scenario. But it the bombing of the American Trade Centre at New York or blasting of the Share-market centre at Bombay in India or looting of a ship "Queen" at High Sea or an organised violence unleashed by waring factions in Somalia resulting in deprivity of the millions of innocent people of their basic necessities of life, these are nothing less than the national and international facets of terrorist acts. Terrorism is no more a phenomenon of the developing countries. The thrill of terrorism generally generates high intensity shock waves which usually pass down the terminal point of our spine. The anatomy of terrorism is complex but its causes are more complicated.
This book covers the social, political and legal dimensions of terrorism and studies in detail the genesis of terrorism, terrorism and human tights, and terrorism and the law." (jacket)
