Rezensionen

'Professors Enders and Sandler are two of the most important scholars studying terrorism today, and the second edition of their book, The Political Economy of Terrorism, is an outstanding and in-depth overview of this subject, covering contributions from economics, political science, and related disciplines that I plan to use in my honors course on terrorism, counterterrorism, and weapons of mass destruction.'
