Spreading Hate offers a history of the modern white power movement, describing key moments in its evolution since the end of World War Two.

TERROR giver et indblik i terroristernes mål og midler. Forfatteren, den prisbelønnede britiske historiker og kommentator Michael Burleigh, fokuserer på den desinficerende vrede og fordrejede moral, som driver terroristerne frem. Han peger på, at volden ofte bliver et mål i sig selv, og at terroristene tit er viklet ind i andre former for kriminallivet. Terrormiljøet er "uden undtagelse moralsk usselt," skriver Burleigh direkte. Type: Hardcover

Military historian Caleb Carr’s groundbreaking work anticipated America’s current debates on preemptive military action against terrorist sponsor states, reorganization of the American intelligence system, and the treatment of terrorists as soldiers in supranational armies rather than as criminals. Carr’s authoritative exploration demonstrates that the practice of terrorism, employed by national armies as well as extremists since the days of ancient Rome, is ultimately self-defeating. Far from prompting submission, it stiffens enemy resolve and never leads to long-lasting success. Controversial on its initial publication in 2002, The Lessons of Terror has been repeatedly validated by subsequent events. Carr’s analysis of individual terrorist acts, and particularly of the history of the Middle East conflict, is fundamental to a deep understanding of the roots of terrorism as well as the s
En kort og bred indføring i moderne terrorisme og dens anatomi belyst gennem interviews med 12 danske og udenlandske eksperter Terrorens anatomi er en bog der går bag om fordomme. I en serie dybdegåendeinterviews forsøger 12 eksperter at belyse den globale terrors strukturer, dens udspring og konsekvenser. Hvorfor er den så svær at inddæmme? Måske kan vi først besvare dette spørgsmål, når vi opgiver ønsket om at forstå terroren ud fra én bestemt optik, men indtænker både krigen mod terror, terrorens struktur og psykologi, og dens forhold til religion og medier. I Terrorens anatomi lader forfatterne de indbudte eksperter tale hinanden imod, så ingen synsvinkler får lov til at dominere bogens kapitler. Der er kun eksperternes viden, deres argumenter og læserens egen dømmekraft. Titel: Terrorens anatomi : en interviewbog Forlag: Rosenkilde Udgivelsesår: 2007 Sider: 237 Sprog: Dansk
