Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspective, and Issues, Third Edition Now Available

Los Angeles, London, New Delhi, Singapore and Washington DC (May 28, 2009) – A new edition of the Understanding Terrorism: Challenges, Perspectives, and Issues, by Gus Martin is now available from SAGE.

ForeWord Magazine calls it “the best stand-alone, comprehensive textbook for university courses.” Its multi-disciplinary approach and practical exercises assist students in critically assessing this volatile topic. This updated edition offers:

• fresh, innovative theories and cases
• more coverage of homeland security
• a consolidated discussion of ideological terrorism
• new photographs, updated tables, and enhanced graphics

“The earlier editions of Understanding Terrorism have been very well received in the market and we’re sure this new third edition will be as well,” said Helen Salmon, Director of Books Marketing for SAGE. “A multidisciplinary approach and superior readability are two hallmarks of SAGE textbooks and this new one is no exception.”

Author C. Augustus “Gus” Martin is Assistant Vice President for Faculty Affairs at California State University, Dominguez Hills, where he is also the former chair of the Department of Public Administration and Public Policy.
