NEW TERRORISM S p e c i a l S t u d i e s , 1 9 7 5 – 1 9 8 5 This is a crucial and unique source for investigation of one of the most spectacular and significant phenomenon of our era. The collection gives insights not only on the nature of terrorism but also on the concerns and priorities of the threatened. —Dr. J. Bowyer Bell Institute of War & Peace Studies Columbia University During the past ten years, political terrorism has become a priority concern of policy makers in the United States. The attempt by the U.S. to come to grips— conceptually as well as practically— with the mounting threat posed by political terrorism throughout the world is substantially documented by UPA’s new microfilm collection, Terrorism: Special Studies, 1975– 1985. This collection consists mainly of research studies conducted by an elite group of private and governmental organizations commonly known as “think tanks,” whose urgent task has been to learn as much as possible about the goals, strategies, dynamics, and key motivating forces behind the increasingly influential phenomenon of global terrorism. The authors of these studies are associated with several of the finest research facilities in the United States— the Rand Corporation, the National Defense University, the Strategic Studies Institute of the Army War College, the Institute for Defense Analysis, and the Department of State’s Office of External Research, among others— as well as with the various federal agencies and such major universities as Harvard, Columbia, and the University of California at Berkeley. The documents included in this collection are quite diverse in terms of scope and emphasis, as the titles listed below suggest. Because these studies were written under contract with government departments, their distribution has been limited, and they have not been collected and published until now. Taken together, their research findings constitute an exhaustive, mul­ tifaceted examination of the facts, causes, and policy implications of a phenomenon that threatens nations in every region of the world. A partial listing of titles contained in the collection follows: • International Terrorism: A New Kind of Warfare. (1974) • Counterterror Campaign: The Road to Success or Failure. (1975) • Nuclear Theft: Real and Imagined Dangers. (1976) • The Growing Utility of Political Terrorism. (1977) • Embassies under Siege: A Review of 48 Embassy Takeovers. (1981) • Red Brigades: Description of a Terrorist Organization. (1982) • U.S. Strategy to Counter Domestic Political Terrorism. (1983) • Right-Wing Terrorism in Europe since 1980.
