Additional text

Barton's book makes valuable contributions to the study of terrorism. She illuminates an era of the history of terrorism that scholars have long overlooked and integrates counterterrorism into the established narrative of postwar efforts at international law and cooperation. Scholars of arms control, terrorism, the League of Nations, and interwar geopolitics will find this study particularly worthwhile.
