Features: Until recently, in countries like the United States, the likelihood of individuals being subjected to terrorist attacks was negligible. But now, a small group of terrorists can launch deadly surprise attacks on them, just like the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, indicating that people's vigilance against terrorists is becoming increasingly weak. The proliferation of advanced weapons has made it easier to obtain them, and terrorism has become an urgent issue to address. Terrorist organizations no longer rely solely on firepower to spread their messages. With biological terrorism becoming a means of terror, the scope of victims will be much broader than previously imagined. Computer terrorists no longer target specific objectives; they are interested in disrupting their opponents' computers and information systems, rendering them inoperable, thereby destroying their electronic infrastructure. The book "Global Terrorism" comprehensively explores the complex political and social issues surrounding this phenomenon.
