A Faceless Enemy
The Origins of Modern Terrorism
by Glenn E. Schweitzer and Carole Dorsch Schweitzer
"In A Faceless Enemy, Glenn Schweitzer provides a sweeping history of the new technologies that are at the heart of this new and deadly terrorism and gives us a fuller understanding of the relationships between terrorists and drug traffickers, the potential threat of cyberterrorism, and the now very tangible risks posed by bioterrorism and chemoterrorism.
Based on the author's long career in science and international politics, and drawing upon interviews with diplomats and intelligence operatives around the globe, A Faceless Enemy is a must-read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the complex issues related to terrorism and the future of international security."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
The purpose of this book is to provide the general public with a comprehensive view of the most critical aspects of modern terrorism. The international dimension of the threats to the United States receives special attention and the discussion is punctuated with firsthand accounts of disquieting incidents in many countries that help document the scope of the dangers. While the book covers developments only through 1998, the conclusions and warnings at that time were prophetic of the events that unfolded three years later and that will continue to unfold in the decades ahead.
