Presenting a picture of the world giving rise to Islamic terrorism, From the Terrorists’ Point of View argues that terrorism arises from a deep and pervasive identity crisis in Islamic societies. Looking at the perspective of the terrorist groups themselves, Moghaddam explains why current U.S. policy, focusing almost exclusively on individual terrorists and their eradication, will achieve only short-term gains.
