"Suicide attacks are rising around the world. The most common explanations do not help us understand why. Yet most people agree that suicide attacks have become popular because of their effectiveness, tactical advantage, inexpensiveness and reliability in killing.

This book therefore is an attempt to collect and where possible select important and innovative material on different aspect of this deadly problem." (jacket)
