What Motivates Suicide Bombers?

Klappentext The act of a suicide bomber, one who causes devastation while taking one's own life for a pre-determined reason, is a very complicated, powerful act. At its crux is the idea of the martyr and the individual's relationship to that idea. This anthology analyzes the topic of suicide bombers. Does foreign occupation motivate bombers? What strategic objectives underlie this practice? Readers gain insight into the political and social implications of suicide bombing. Discussions are grounded in real events.
