Cutting the fuse : the explosion of global suicide terrorism and how to stop it / Robert A. Pape, James K. Feldman.

Pape, Robert Anthony, 1960- (Author). Feldman, James K. (James Kendrick) (Added Author). Chicago Project on Security and Terrorism. (Added Author).

Summary:

Offers a wealth of new knowledge about the origins of suicide terrorism and strategies to stop it. Examines every suicide terrorist attack worldwide from 1980 to 2009. This analysis fundamentally changes how we understand the root causes of the most important terrorist campaigns today and reveals why the War on Terror has been ultimately counterproductive. Through a close analysis of suicide campaigns by Al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Israel, Chechnya, and Sri Lanka, the authors provide powerful new evidence that, contrary to popular and dangerously mistaken belief, only a tiny minority of these attacks are motivated solely by religion. Instead, the root cause is foreign military occupation, which triggers secular and religious people alike to carry out suicide attacks. From publisher description.
