Terrorism

by Lauri S. Friedman (Editor)

Overview

The world that we are leaving to younger generations is a world in which terrorism is a fact and a reality; it can happen anywhere, anytime, for any reason. This volume serves as an excellent introduction to this highly contentious issue. Young readers will arrive at their own opinions after reading a sequence of essays that are arranged in a pro versus con format. Across three chapters, readers will evaluate how serious the threat of terrorism really is, what the United States should be doing to prevent it, and how we should treat suspected terrorist. Reading conflicting views per topic allows students to grasp the crux of the controversies while also enriching their understanding of varying viewpoints.
