[Intelforum] Books on Intelligence and Terrorism

[Christopher Farmer]

1) Christopher C. Harmon, "Terrorism Today" : ISBN: 071468059-1

2) Paul R. Pillar, "Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy" : ISBN: 0-8157-7077-4

Those are two good books to teach a class on terrorism.

You can also use:

1) Jessica Stern, "The Ultimate Terrorists" : ISBN: 0-674-61790-8

That text is a lighter reading and may be a good introductory book. 
Jessica's Stern's other book "Terror in the Name of God: Why Religious 
Militants Kill" is also a good book because she penetrates and interviews 
terrorist cell members in Asia.
