Terrorism: The PLO Connection

by Alexander, Joshua Sinai

This is an historical record of the PLO, tracing the sociological and political roots of the movement, detailing all its known connections with the other groups and states, and assessing the consequences of the PLO activities for peace and stability in the Middle East and elsewhere. The authors provide the reader with a careful analysis of a most complicated subject. The book will help both scholars and policy makers to understand the nature of terrorism and what society must do to reduce the modern form of criminal violence to proportions less disruptive of the fabric of civilized international relationships. What the future holds can only be guessed, but the record down to the present day is here for all to read and ponder.

[Bryce · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even though the writing is a bit dry, this is disturbing, informative, and revealing of the PLO and the weak constitution of the U.N. and others. I highly recommend it
