"Since the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001, the United States has been preoccupied with the threat of international terrorism," writes Sean Lynn-Jones in his introduction to Responding to Terrorism: A Batch from International Security. The articles in this Batch include some of the seminal contributions to the debate over terrorism: assessment of the roots of terrorism and its effectiveness, questions over the potency of terrorism's threat to national security, and whether killing terrorist leaders is a good counterterrorism strategy, and the demise of terrorist groups. Dig in.
