The Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Activities

Whether they are acting as a one-person cell, or with a sophisticated global finance and logistics network, terrorists can be members of nearly any race, sex, religion, or political persuasion. But every terrorist operation always has certain characteristics, and the only effective way to identify and prevent terrorists is to observe their behavior and analyze it with an intelligence-based approach. In THE TERRORIST RECOGNITION HANDBOOK, terrorism expert Malcolm Nance shows:

· How terrorist groups are classified and organized
· How intelligence, operations, planning, logistics cells operate
· The key steps every terrorist group always follow
· How to recognize the stages of a terrorist plot
· Known terrorist groups and their tactics
· How and why groups use conventional, biological, and chemical weapons
· How to analyze intelligence with inductive and deductive reasoning

THE TERRORIST RECOGNITION HANDBOOK is the first and only commercially available handbook that debunks the aura of mystery surrounding terrorist activities as it uncovers the terrorists' means, methods, organization, and motivations. It will be an invaluable resource and training guide for police officers, SWAT teams, federal officials, security companies, local water boards, chemical plants, oil refineries, power generating facilities, electrical and telephone utilities, airport facilities, public transportation officials, education officials, journalists, and ordinary citizens.
