Editorial Review / Publisher's Information:
Product Description
 Effective counterterrorism requires a non-prejudicial understanding of terrorist motives and methods. Security professionals need to identify who terrorists might be, recognize pre-incident indicators of terrorist activity, and competently analyze intelligence information. Unfortunately, most terrorist education comes in short, sketchy briefings, and reliable sources for the foundational knowledge and tools necessary to prevent or mitigate an attack are rare and incomplete at best.
The Latest Geopolitical Factors
The second edition of Nance’s bestselling Terrorist Recognition Handbook is fully updated with the latest information on geopolitical factors affecting global terrorism and regional insurgencies. A new section includes analyses of transformations within Al Qaeda, coverage of the modern insurgency, and newly active global and regional terrorist groups. Thoroughly revised, the section on terrorist tactics reveals entirely new trends and attack methods that have been previously unseen.
Learn from the Expert
Written by a 20 year veteran of the US intelligence community, this book is an invaluable training tool on how to identify an attack; how to mitigate damage from attacks; and how to recognize the stages of developing terrorist plots. It answers critical questions about who represents a threat, what opportunities are available for them to succeed, and what behaviors can be observed as they prepare for an attack?
Quick Information in a Crisis
Designed for rapid assimilation, each chapter can be read in any order. The no-nonsense style and numerous illustrations make it useful for quick identification of conventional weapons and weapons of mass destruction. Â
Malcolm W. Nance, a 20 year veteran of the US intelligence community, has been deployed on anti-terrorism and intelligence operations in the Balkans, Middle East—including Iraq and Afghanistan—and sub-Saharan Africa. visit the book website: http://ittoday.info/TerroristRecognitionHandbook/

• An Easy Way For Our Government To Identify Terrorists
04 November, 2008
...would be to look in the mirror. The so-called "war on terror" was an unprovoked attack by the US on a country that had absolutely no involvement in 9/11. George Bush has been the world's most dangerous terrorist the last few years, but somehow he doesn't fit the author's narrow definition.

• Terrorist Handbook
03 September, 2008
5-Stars on Mr. Nance's "Terrorist Recognition Hamdbook!" This should be considered a Terrorist Primer on terrorist awareness and preparedness for observing terrorist surveillance indicators and preplanning. It is "well-worth" the price tag and it is highly recommended!

• Commandante Marcos
13 December, 2008
Let me begin by saying I did not read this book. While searching for books by and about Comandante Marcos, Amazon directed me to this book. Reading the excerpt the author uses Marcos as an example of a terrorist. This gross error made me assume that this book is nothing but "intelligence" propaganda that continues to be spoon fed to the simple minded people of the world. My school, which is smaller, has an intelligence dept. funded by the NSA. The reasons for them placing it at a smaller school like mine is clear, we have a lot of students who are here because of the GI Bill. They are brainwashed in the military so why not continue brainwashing them to do our bidding. I signed up to take one of these course and dropped out right after reading the biased and no way near objective syllabus. This type of teaching is making us incredibly unsafe as a country and as a world and needs to be combated.

This book is an essential book for the intelligence operative, the fiction writer or anybody interested in the vital topic of terrorist operations. The author breaks the book down into understandable sections so that the reader can gain a comprehensive understanding of terrorism and terrorists. Afterward, you will understand weapons, cell organization, motivation, profiles and various active terrorist groups.

• Pay No Attention To The "political Commentary" Reviews
14 October, 2009
There are several so-called "reviews" that have nothing whatsoever to do with the content of the book. Indeed, one "reviewer" admits that he didn't read the book at all, and the others are obvious political grandstanding - again having nothing to do with the merits of the book. These "reviews" should be completely ignored by anyone who is looking for a definitive discussion of terrorists and their methods. A "must read" for intelligence and security professionals, especially in the critical infrastructure sectors.
