Terrorism and Homeland Security: A Text/Reader uniquely takes a regional approach to combining information found in a traditional text with a variety of published articles on terrorism and homeland security. Authors Timothy A Capron and Stephanie B. Mizrahi provide students with a broad overview of the material followed by a deeper exploration of each issue through carefully selected journal articles. Students will be exposed to original research and literature in this area, and encouraged to think critically and analytically about the state of studies in terrorism and homeland security.
