Terrorists and terrorism have become a major force internationally. Hostage-taking and other acts of violence for political ends are common all over the globe. This groundbreaking study sheds new light on the phenomenon of terrorism.
This book examines and explains the nature and sources of terrorists' beliefs, actions, goals, worldviews, and states of mind. Origins of Terrorism addresses, with scholarly responsibility as well as necessary urgency, one of the most vexing intellectual and political challenges of our time.
The contributors to this book bring deep learning and experience in realms that are vital to an understanding of the arenas within which terrorist behavior takes place-arenas such as ideology, nationalism and religion. The authors explore terrorist behavior in its troubling richness and diversity, and identify the ways in which it develops, grows and sustains itself. In addition, they study the mechanisms that enable terrorists to easily carry out violent acts against innocents, as well as the ways in which leaders of governments respond to terrorist actions and threats. Finally, they identify the opportunities for future research in the psychology of terrorism as well as the limits of such research
This collection, under Reich's editorship, will help us to understand terrorism as well as the motivations behind it. Origins of Terrorism, which is being published simultaneously in hardcover and paperback, is an important study which is bound to affect the way we look at world politics.

Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Geschichte der Ostmärkischen Sturmscharen zu beleuchten. Dabei soll sowohl die Ereignisgeschichte als auch die Ideologie des Verbandes thematisiert werden. Anhand von Zeitzeugen und Dokumenten versucht der Autor ein Bild dieser Bewegung zu zeichnen. Dabei wird deutlich, wie eng die Sturmscharen mit dem autoritären Regime kooperierten und zu einer seiner Stützen wurden. Vehement bekämpften sie den aufkommenden Nationalsozialismus und entwickelten sich von einem katholisch gesinnten Jugendverband zu einer paramilitärischen Selbstschutzorganisation. Im Verband mit der Heimwehr und anderen bürgerlichen Wehrverbänden kämpften sie mit der Waffe in der Hand.
