Ranging from early modern Europe to the contemporary Middle East, Martin Miller reveals the foundations of modern terrorism. He argues that the French Revolution was a watershed moment as it was then that ordinary citizens first claimed the right to govern. The traditional notion of state legitimacy was forever altered and terrorism became part of a violent contest over control of state power between officials in government and insurgents in society. In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries terrorism evolved into a way of seeing the world and a way of life for both insurgents and state security forces with the two sides drawn ever closer in their behaviour and tactics. This is a groundbreaking history of terrorism which, for the first time, integrates the violence of governments and insurgencies"--cProvided by publisher. 0aTerrorism.  2ddccBK  c75915d75915  00102ddc406363_325000000000000_MIF708NFIC9128701aDULbDULcGENd2016-06-02ePurchasedo363.325 MIFp484727r2016-06-02w2016-06-02yBK
