Profiles in Terroris a ready-reference book profiling twenty terrorist organizations operating in the Middle East and the regional groups that are affiliated with these organizations. Each profile includes detailed descriptions of the group’s ideology, historical background, leadership, organization, external relations and financial support, chronology of major events and attacks, and additional resources and references. Beyond providing this basic information on terror groups, Profiles in Terror emphasizes the vast web of links between terrorist organizations with very different goals and ideologies.
