What Terrorists Want - Understanding the Terrorist Threat

Why do seemingly ordinary young men and women volunteer to turn themselves into human bombs? What can we do to stop them? The author investigates these questions. She draws on her contact with real terrorists to show that terrorists are not crazed criminals but rational, ideological actors willing to exploit their own weaknesses to maximum effect.
