Jim wrote of terrorists:
"Hence, the strategy is to move a government or an
institution to make concessions based, not on whether or not
they're actually taking any hits themselves, but on their
concern for the lives of the innocents."
And/or to destabilize said government by exposing its
inability to protect its own citizenry.
Have there been great hardboiled or noir books dealing with
terrorism? I'm not much of an espionage reader, but I'm
guessing there are a bunch in that genre.
I have read The Family Arsenal (by Theroux?) about a would be
terrorist cell. And Madison Smartt Bell's Waiting for the End
of the World.
I'm betting there are a bunch of books involving the IRA and
its strategies, too.
