PREFACE TO VOLUME 2
September 11, 2006

Editor: James J.F. Forest
Research Team: Thomas A. Bengtson, Jr., Nathan Gonzalez, Hilda Rosa Martinez, and Bridget C. Nee


This document was produced during the summer of 2006 through the collaborative efforts of a research team from five academic institutions. The primary objective of this project has been to compile an information resource that will be useful to teachers, scholars, and students of terrorism studies, as well as to policymakers, journalists and the general public. It reflects a collective effort to provide a user-friendly introduction to the growing body of research and literature on terrorism and counterterrorism. Thus, the annotations contained in this bibliography attempt to avoid the use of jargon or overly academic language.

This is the second Annotated Bibliography to be published by the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point. The first, released in March 2004, contained 411 annotated entries from nearly two decades of research in the field of terrorism studies. For this second edition, we have sought to include mostly literature that has been published between 2003 and early 2006.

There are three parts to this bibliography:
-Part A contains 412 bibliographic entries organized by author's last name
-Part B provides a detailed index of the entries organized by topic
-Part C provides a detailed index of the entries organized by country
