Terrorism has become a virtually daily news item, and a tragic part of our lives. It is estimated that there are more than five hundred different terrorist groups world-wide. In this innovative and highly relevant book, the authors stress ways in which local agencies can mitigate and respond to the effects of the worst acts of terror faced by urban authorities. The authors combine theory and practice, citing incidents around the world (including the devastating attack on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C.), while emphasising Israel's special experience in this field. In light of the increasing threat of terrorist acts and the rising interest in emergency management, this book provides solid background for governmental officials and emergency response personnel who are seeking to understand one of the most dangerous threats to modern life.
