Reviews
"This book represents an interesting effort to form an all pervading model to expand the current understanding of terrorism, posing history as a mirror; The History of Terrorism: From Antiquity to ISIS exhibits an ambitious attempt to decipher the commonalities of different versions of terrorism, which is crystallised into a recommendable book for sociologists, anthropologists and social scientists who are interested by these types of hot topics." * International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies *
"...a useful reference on the history of terrorism focusing on prehistory, the French Revolution through the national liberation movement, and then terrorism since 1968." * Terrorism & Political Violence *
