Effective counterterrorism requires a non-prejudicial understanding of terrorist
motives and methods. Security professionals need to identify who terrorists might
be, recognize pre-incident indicators of terrorist activity, and competently analyze
intelligence information. Unfortunately, most terrorist education comes in short,
sketchy briefings, and reliable sources for the foundational knowledge and tools
necessary to prevent or mitigate an attack are rare and incomplete at best.

The second edition of Nance.s bestselling Terrorist Recognition Handbook is fully
updated with the latest information on geopolitical factors affecting global terrorism
and regional insurgencies. A new section includes analyses of transformations within
Al Qaeda, coverage of the modern insurgency, and newly active global and regional
terrorist groups. Thoroughly revised, the section on terrorist tactics reveals entirely
new trends and attack methods that have been previously unseen.
