📚 Terrorism

27 works · ordered by editions in print

Violence aimed at an audience rather than a target — its history, its logic, and why it is so hard to defeat by force alone.

Below are the 27 works carrying the subject terrorism in the Open Library catalogue with the most editions in print. Author and first year are as the record states them; a missing year means the record does not carry one, not that the book is undated. Novels set in the subject are left out, because a list of historical fiction is not a list of history. Where one author dominates the reprint counts, no more than two of their titles appear.
