Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Practitioner's Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Activities, Third Edition

If you want a book on how terrorists operate(without the political propagandizing by the author),then this is the best. Ever since the 1970s there's been a plethora of books written on the subject. Many were worthless,simply political posturing,pseudo psychology and rehashes of newspaper articles. This book is different. What makes this book unique is it gives explicit details of how terrorist organisations actually. After a few chapters on classifying different types of organisations, Part 2 shows diagrams of different types of terrorist structures. It goes into great detail of command cells,intelligence,logistics and tactical operations cells.How they do reconnaissance and surveillance on potential targets and how they operate in detail. Part 3 chapters show how to tell the signs of terrorists operating,safe houses,finance,communications,logistics as well as their weapons(including nuclear,biological,chemical NBC). Part 4 shows how they conduct operations,infiltrate borders,airports,marine areas etc. Plus a large number of assassination,kidnapping,raid scenarios. Much,much more. If you want just one book on terrorist structure and function,this is it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
