Editor Mike Wilson has compiled a sequence of essays in pro versus con format, that debate several topics about terrorism. Across four chapters, readers will evaluate whether terrorism is a serious threat, how society is susceptible to it, what its real causes are, and how governments should respond to terrorism. Is the United States winning its war on terrorism? Does a lack of civil liberties cause terrorism? Will winning the Iraq war curb terrorism? These valuable, pressing questions are debated for readers, allowing them to form intelligent opinions for themselves.
