Contemporary Terrorism.

Abstract

Col Danner's paper centered on the subject of political violence as it relates to current events in world affairs. He traces the trends and transitions in this subject; which he terms contemporary terrorism. He compares the vulnerabilities of various types of governments to terrorist acts and makes a series of subjections on how the United States might organize to better combat the threat of political violence. The tone of this paper is a mixture of good research and the strong feelings of a U.S. Army Infantry Officer on this subject. (Author)
