Chronology of World Terrorism, 1901-2001

"The attacks of September 11, 2001, brought unprecedented attention to the problem of terrorism. Yet the threat of terrorist acts has long been a specter in the lives of millions, and the patterns and occurrences all too regular. The September 11 attacks marked the anniversary of a full century of terrorism." "This chronology begins with President McKinley's assassination in September of 1901, and ends with the September 11, 2001, attacks. It details terrorist events both well known and obscure, chosen as representative, decade by decade, of each particular period. A concluding chapter examines changing trends in methods of attack and the effectiveness of various movements." "Appendices include a list of notable terrorist organizations; international conventions governing terrorism; and the U.N. Security Council resolution passed after the September 11 attacks."--Jacket.
