Terrorism is not just a terrible evil, it is one of the most complex problems of our time, the solution to which humanity has yet to find. John Horgan, a recognized expert in the psychology of terrorism, describes in his book the mechanisms that lead ordinary people to the path of violent extremism. Their actions are often dictated by a destructive ideology that justifies the use of violence for greater ends, but the motivation of terrorists may seem rational only to themselves. The author draws on twenty years of research experience and offers readers a unique analysis of the way of thinking, behavior and ideology of participants of various terrorist organizations. He dispels myths about terrorism, analyzes the role of high technology in shaping the image of terror in the twenty-first century, and proposes measures that can help deradicalize and rehabilitate members of extremist groups.
This book convincingly proves that the fight against terrorism requires not only military strength and political will, but also a deep understanding of its social and psychological roots.
