What is terrorism? What drives people to commit terrible acts of violence for a "cause"? What can we do to fight terrorism? Part of growing up is about expressing yourself and voicing your own opinions about major issues, such as terrorism. It is also about making choices about things that will affect your life - now and later.
This book gives you clear, no-nonsense information about terrorism. It explains what terrorism means, and examines why some people are prepared to kill innocent passers-by - and sometimes even themselves - in the name of a political or religious cause.
You can read about the history of terrorism and understand what threats the world faces today after the horror of 11 September 2001. Together with case studies and quotes from people with different experiences of terrorism, this book provides all the facts you need to make up your own mind about the subject.
