Teaching Terror offers a vital resource of information for strategizing new ways to combat terror and protect society. Highly recommended reading. Wisconsin Bookwatch Terrorists are not born, they are taught and self-taught. In James Forest's volume, a fine group of contributors examines the most important characteristics and venues of terrorist learning and knowledge. I very highly recommend this first-rate contribution to the literature of terrorism as a must-read inside and outside the academic world. -- Brigitte Nacos, Columbia Univeristy
