Walter Laqueur, a world renowned expert on terrorism and international strategic affairs and author of Fascism:A Reader and Weimar (Phoenix Press), recounts the history of terrorism and examines the future of terrorism worldwide.It is only a matter of time, Laqueur argues, before the attainability of weapons of mass destruction creates a terrifying and unstable scenario.

Vincent Cannistraro, former Chief of CIA Counterterrorism Operations.
