A timely and immensely relevant book, Ezrow’s work will be indispensable to anyone who wants to understand how violent non-state actors fit into traditional understandings of International Relations. Drawing on examples from across the globe this text provides a rich, detailed and erudite argument as to why violent non-state actors are, perhaps, the greatest threat to human security in existence today. This makes this text a must read for students of International relations, Security Studies, Terrorism Studies, Criminology or Organised Crime as it provides a new and refreshing perspective on why non-state actors choose to use violence.
