Grosscup, a professor at the University of California, challenges conventional understanding of terrorism and offers a new framework for confronting it. He explores what is known and not known about terrorism, and addresses how it became a headline issue. He asks who is responsible for the explosion of terrorism, examines the scope and nature of the problem, and presents a theoretical framework for dealing with terrorism that centers understanding in the political terrain.
