Description
Investigates not only how and why an individual becomes a terrorist, but where, in which camps and through which methods, with great attention to the differences and similarities among a wide variety of active terrorist groups.

Reviews:
-[A] useful and practical reference for commanders, planners, and analysts. As its title suggests, the three volume set aims to provide an understanding of terrorist phenomena, focusing on the actual mechanics of terrorism....What emerges from these studies is a collage of terrorist practices as they are, and not a neat, coherent, and artificial portrait of causes and cures for terrorism. The Making of a Terrorist, therefore provides essential and accessible background reading for the military practitioner in the War on Terrorism....The Making of a Terrorist provides practitioners with increments of understanding on which they can base a variety of solutions to a myriad of threats. Based on that understanding, we can then begin to formulate a response. The Making of a Terrorist is not the answer, but it helps to frame the question. —Parameters
-The Making of a Terrorist: Recruitment, Training, and Root Causes surpasses all other lighter treatments on the topic, providing the depth which makes it highly recommendable to security collections, military libraries, and more. Three weighty volumes thoroughly cover the topic....This set is an invaluable 'must' for any seeking more depth and detail than the usual casual reviews of problems and theories. —Midwest Book Review's California BookWatch
