From Black September to the Munich Olympics, to the embassy bombing in Beirut, to the devastating attacks of September 11 and beyond, terrorism has emerged as the most important security concern of our time."Where did this come from?" Inspired by a student's question on the morning of September 11, 2001, Mark Ensalaco has written a thoroughly researched narrative account of the origins of Middle Eastern terrorism, addressing when and why terrorists started targeting Americans and American interests and what led to the September 11 attacks.Ensalaco reveals the changing of motivations from secular Palestinian nationalism to militant Islam and demonstrates how competition among terrorists for resources and notoriety has driven them to increasingly extreme tactics. As he argues, terrorist attacks grew from spectacle to atrocity. Drawing on popular works and scholarly sources, Middle Eastern Terrorism tells this story in rich detail and with great clarity and insight. 606 $aTerrorism$zMiddle East$xHistory 606 $aTerrorism$zMiddle East 606 $aTerrorism$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aTerrorism$zUnited States 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zMiddle East 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTerrorism$xHistory. 615 0$aTerrorism 615 0$aTerrorism$xHistory. 615 0$aTerrorism 676 $a363.3250956 700 $aEnsalaco$b Mark$01026603 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452369103321 996 $aMiddle Eastern terrorism$92462812 997 $aUNINA
