Summary

Will Terrorism End? examines this question by tracing the history of terrorism and terrorist groups. Over time, terrorist groups have risen and fallen—sprouting offshoots, disbanding, or being destroyed by governments. This book argues that terrorism is cyclical, and therefore will neither entirely disappear nor become fully dominant. Because terrorism is a tactic that can be employed in the name of a number of ideologies, it may never go away, but we have developed countermeasures to minimize its effects and continue to innovate ways to reduce its presence in our world.
