Selecting the "Best Books on Terrorism"
By Andrew Cochran
We see lists of "best books on terrorism" often, and of course we're partial to the list of books written by our Contributing Experts (in the left sidebar), many of which are cited in "best terrorism books" lists. One new list of 25 "best books" was sent to us by noted CT scholar Dr. Joshua Sinai of The Analysis Corporation, whose column on Terrorism Books appears regularly in the Washington Times and who also publishes the online book review column “Terrorism Bookshelf” for the Terrorism Research Center. Dr. Sinai's list includes two by our Contributing Experts, Stephen Sloan's "Terrorism: The Present Threat in Context" and Evan Kohlmann's "Al-Qaida's Jihad in Europe: The Afghan-Bosnian Network," as well as one by former Contributing Expert (and current U.S. Treasury Department official) Matthew Levitt, "Hamas: Politics, Charity, and Terrorism in the Service of Jihad." Dr. Sinai's list appears in a special supplement of ForeWord, a trade magazine for booksellers and libraries and is reproduced here with permission (attached Acrobat file) We hope you'll review and select each of our experts' books when you're building your CT library.
