Description
Since the attacks of 11 September 2001, the topic of terrorism and our response to it has dominated the public agenda in the United Kingdom. Steve Hewitt's book puts these developments into context, both historical and contemporary, and is brought right up-to-date with insights into the de Menezes shooting and Birmingham anti-terror raids.

Reviews
'Steve Hewitt provides a concise and fluent examination of over a hundred years of experience of counter terrorism in the UK, showing how legal, political and intelligence strands of policy intersect. He demonstrates clearly the complexities both of understanding the terrorist threat and the difficulties in countering it and argues convincingly that, especially since 9/11, policy has been inadequate and inconsistent.' Peter Gill is Research Professor in Intelligence Studies at the University of Salford, UK.
