Many - perhaps most - people have an interest in terrorism: its causes, nature and consequences; its effects on their lives; and the question of how we should respond to it. This volume offers an accessible, authoritative, well-researched analysis of case studies and themes from the history of terrorism to inform and change scholarly debate.

The Cambridge History of Terrorism provides a comprehensive reference work on terrorism from a distinctly historical perspective, offering systematic analyses of key themes, problems and case studies from terrorism's long past. Featuring expert scholars from across the globe, this volume examines the phenomenon of terrorism through regional case studies, largely written by local scholars, as well as through thematic essays exploring the relationship between terrorism and other historical forces. Each of the chapters - whether thematic or case-study focused - embodies new, research-based analysis which will help to inform and reshape our understanding of one of the world's most challenging problems.

Richard English is Professor of Politics at Queen's University Belfast.
