Free Download Laura N. Bell Assistant Professor of Political Science West Texas AM University, "Targets of Terror: Contemporary Assassination"
English | ISBN: 1786613913 | 2021 | 194 pages | EPUB, PDF | 5 MB + 4 MB
Targets of Terror addresses the repercussions of assassination as a tactic of terrorism and delineates post-assassination political outcomes across target types. Assassination of heads of state, such as John F. Kennedy and Yitzhak Rabin, are rare events, but the political murders of police personnel, local government officials, politicians, and journalists occur frequently. These "softer" targets are often pursued during broader campaigns of terrorist violence, and the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) records a significant number of these assassination events-16,246 to be exact-between 1977 and 2017.

Free Download Randa Abdel-Fattah, "Coming of Age in the War on Terror"
English | 2021 | ISBN: 1742236863 | EPUB | pages: 352 | 0.5 mb
‘One minute you’re a 15-year-old girl who loves Netflix and music and the next minute you’re looked at as maybe ISIS.’ We now have a generation-Muslim and non-Muslim-who has grown up only knowing a world at war on terror, and who has been socialised in a climate of widespread Islamophobia, surveillance, and suspicion. In Coming of Age in the War on Terror, award-winning writer Randa Abdel-Fattah interrogates the impact of all this on young people’s political consciousness and their trust towards adults and the societies they live in. Drawing on local interviews but global in scope, this book is the first to examine the lives of a generation for whom the rise of the far-right and the growing polarisation of politics seem normal. It’s about time we hear what they have to say.

Free Download Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Jurgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida By Giovanna Borradori, Jurgen Habermas, Jacques Derrida
2003 | 200 Pages | ISBN: 0226066649 | PDF | 3 MB
The idea for Philosophy in a Time of Terror was born hours after the attacks on 9/11 and was realized just weeks later when Giovanna Borradori sat down with Jürgen Habermas and Jacques Derrida in New York City, in separate interviews, to evaluate the significance of the most destructive terrorist act ever perpetrated. This book marks an unprecedented encounter between two of the most influential thinkers of our age as here, for the first time, Habermas and Derrida overcome their mutual antagonism and agree to appear side by side. As the two philosophers disassemble and reassemble what we think we know about terrorism, they break from the familiar social and political rhetoric increasingly polarized between good and evil. In this process, we watch two of the greatest intellects of the century at work.

Free Download Maryse Jayasuriya, "Terror and Reconciliation: Sri Lankan Anglophone Literature, 1983-2009"
English | 2012 | pages: 194 | ISBN: 073916578X | EPUB | 0,9 mb
Terror and Reconciliation explores the English language literature that has emerged from Sri Lanka’s quarter-century long ethnic conflict. It examines poetry, short fiction and novels by both diasporic writers and writers resident in Sri Lanka. Its discussion of resident Sri Lankan writers is particularly important because it calls attention to a rich and ambitious body of work that has largely been ignored in the Western academy and media until now. The book outlines the ways in which a wide range of resident and diasporic writers have sought to represent the conflict, mourn the violence and terror associated with the conflict, and present options for reconciliation in the conflict’s aftermath. The writers discussed grapple with issues of terrorism, human rights, nationalism, war, democracy, gender, ethnicity, and reconciliation, making this a study of profound interest for students and scholars of South Asian literature and culture, postcolonial studies, race and ethnic studies, women’s studies, and peace studies.

Free Download The Afterlives Of The Terror: Facing The Legacies Of Mass Violence In Postrevolutionary France By Ronen Steinberg
2019 | 239 Pages | ISBN: 1501739247 | PDF | 10 MB
The Afterlives of the Terror explores how those who experienced the mass violence of the French Revolution struggled to come to terms with it. Focusing on the Reign of Terror, Ronen Steinberg challenges the presumption that its aftermath was characterized by silence and enforced collective amnesia. Instead, he shows that there were painful, complex, and sometimes surprisingly honest debates about how to deal with its legacies. As The Afterlives of the Terror shows, revolutionary leaders, victims’ families, and ordinary citizens argued about accountability, retribution, redress, and commemoration. Drawing on the concept of transitional justice and the scholarship on the major traumas of the twentieth century, Steinberg explores how the French tried, but ultimately failed, to leave this difficult past behind. He argues that it was the same democratizing, radicalizing dynamic that led to the violence of the Terror, which also gave rise to an unprecedented interrogation of how society is affected by events of enormous brutality. In this sense, the modern question of what to do with difficult pasts is one of the unanticipated consequences of the eighteenth century’s age of democratic revolutions.

Free Download Laboratories of Terror: The Final Act of Stalin’s Great Purge in Soviet Ukraine by Lynne Viola, Marc-Stephan Junge
English | December 9, 2022 | ISBN: 0197647545 | 236 pages | MOBI | 3.16 Mb
Laboratories of Terror explores the final chapter of Stalin’s Great Terror in Soviet Ukraine. When the Communist Party Central Committee and the Council of People’s Commissars of the USSR halted mass operations in repression in November 1938, large numbers of mainly Communist purge victims whose cases remained incomplete were released. At the same time, hundreds of NKVD operatives who had carried out the Great Terror were scapegoated and arrested. Drawing on materials from the largely closed archives of the Soviet security police, this collection of essays by an international team of researchers illuminates the previously opaque world of the NKVD perpetrator. It uncovers the mechanics and logistics of the terror at the local level by examining the criminal files of a series of mid-level NKVD operatives from across Ukraine. The result offers new perspectives on both Stalin’s central role in the architecture of the terror and NKVD perpetrators’ agency in implementing one of the most horrific episodes of twentieth-century mass violence.
