Despite the wake-up call of September 11, 2001, terrorism remains a dire threat to the security of all civilized nations, making it imperative for leaders to develop better national, regional, and global strategies to counter its many forms. Counterterrorism Strategies examines how six countries have combated terrorist groups from the 1970s to the present and draws lessons that are applicable to todayÆs threats. Some of this important new bookÆs case studies are the U.S. pursuit of al Qaeda, ItalyÆs efforts against the extreme left-wing Red Brigades and extreme right-wing New Order, GermanyÆs battles with the Red Army Faction, FranceÆs struggles with separatist movements and international terrorist Carlos the Jackal, EgyptÆs experience with Islamist terrorism, and Sri LankaÆs long confrontation with the Tamil Tigers.
