While the literature of terrorism is evolving and our understanding of what took place on September 11th is growing, there is little in the area of terrorism and its impact on business. This book does a wonderful job of both reminding us of exactly what happened to many businesses in the months after the attack and setting forth a framework to understand how business and labor will be effected in the ongoing war on terrorism. I highly recommend this book.

Book gives an excellent discussion of the topics of business
and terrorism, 9/11, impact on companies and workers, and government reactions. Interesting section on firms that
are helping in war on terrorism. Good overview of terrorist attacks on American businesses. Nice job.

Terrorism And Business: The Impact Of September 11, 2001 is a serious study that focuses upon the reaction of corporate America, U.S. labor, and the U.S. government to the September 11 attacks. From economic impact to financial markets and broad-ranging effects at local, state, and national levels, Terrorism And Business provides the reader with a solid analysis of present and future repercussions as well as changes to the shape of business in America. A powerful, in-depth study Terrorism And Business is an especially timely and recommended read for those with a keen interest in modern economics and the impact of national and international terrorism upon the global marketplace.

I thought that this book, an edited volume of experts from various countries on strategies to combat terrorism was done very well. The perspectives of (in-country) European, U.S., Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Asian analysts shows that terrorism is a global problem and there must be global solutions. The contributors also discuss the consequences of 9/11 so that adds to the helpfulness of the book.

This book is one of a few books that unfortunately, not enough took seriously when it was printed. Now, it's an excellent addition to the must - read list of any one interested in nonproliferation. Divided into several sections, the book discusses every facet of nuclear terrorism, the how, the where, and the why. Even if some of the intelligence is dated, it still is well thought out, written and presented. A topical reference for today's climate.

I bought this book because i thought it would give me an acdemic explanation and analysis about Hamas and Islamic Jihad.
It turns out to be a total flop and worthless; there is no analyses, no explanations, and no deep research, all the author does is mention names, dates, locations, and press releases.
I was so upset to spend such a huge sum of money on it, and frankly i dont advise buying the book.

"The forces of Imperialism in both the Capitalist West and the Communist East support the enemy with all their might, in material and human terms, taking turns between themselves. When Islam appears, all the forces of Unbelief unite to confront it, because the Community of Unbelief is one." (p 62, from Article 22 of the Charter of the Hamas)

Also according to Article 22, "the forces of Unbelief" control huge material wealth, and have used that to take control of the world media, press, broadcasting, etc, supported the French and Commie revolutions, and created secret societies like the Freemasons, Rotary, Lions Club, B'nai B'rith, etc. Gee, guess who they're talking about. Hamas, like the PLO and Islamic Jihad, continue the Nazi agenda, and like Nazis everywhere believe the Jews control the world through conspiracies.

If US and European journalists (and alleged journalists) were required to read this book before writing, editing, and publishing about the Middle East, there'd be fewer problems with spin in their stories.

The book gives the reader a great reference work on religious terrorism. The inclusion of hard-to-find materials in very helpful, especially for journalists such as me.

The authors offer an exhaustive record of Al-Qaida and its destructive activities of the past few years. Bin Laden and his group are profiled. Extensive citations illustrate that the book is based on credible evidence of the group's activities against U.S. and other targets. The publication is a must read for anyone who wants the full scoop of the Bin Laden. The book also describes how the U.S. should respond to terrorism.

A reference for academics, policy makers, journalists, and others that provides a profile of al-Qaida: its ideology and objectives, organizational structure, financial sources of support, and targets and attacks. The volume includes a time line that summarizes key moments for the group, from the invasion of Afghanistan by the Soviet Union to the events of Sept. 11, and reprints transcripts of statements made by bin Laden (in English) as well as various court documents. The authors are associated with the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, a Washington-area think tank. There is no subject index.

The layout of this book provides easy reference for those who need a knowledge of terrorism at their fingertips. Professor Alexander has written extensively on terrorism, a subject the knowledge of which is in particular demand after the recent bombing of the WTC and the Pentagon. He and his think tank cohort Michael Swetnam provide us with a methodical account and a carefully reasoned set of assumptions and expectations for terrorist acts past and future. The author's are knowledgeable and credentialed in the real world of policy studies and politics and they provide an excellent primer for professional and amateur alike.
