Ob in Europa, Amerika oder Nahost – der Kampf gegen den Terrorismus ist von Hilflosigkeit und Misserfolgen geprägt. Menschen sterben, weil wir das Wesen des Gegners nicht begreifen und deshalb falsch auf die Gewalt reagieren. Die renommierte Expertin Louise Richardson definiert Terrorismus mit klarem analytischen Blick und großer Sachlichkeit. Dabei zieht sie den Nordirland-Konflikt, die RAF und viele andere Terrorbewegungen als Beispiel heran. Anstatt Terroristen pauschal zu verteufeln, zeigt sie, dass diese keine Irren sind, sondern politische Akteure, die klare Ziele verfolgen. Wir können den Terror nicht besiegen. Aber wir können ihn eindämmen und dafür sorgen, dass die Terroristen nicht erreichen, was sie bezwecken.
