International Terrorism: Soviet Connectivity

Abstract

Reviews the nature of terrorism and definitional complexities associated with this highly emotional and violent form of combat. Transitions to international terrorism and its special problems. Reviews the literature concerning international terrorist objectives. Relates these to massive Soviet support and involvement albeit the great difficulty in finding a Soviet Holding a 'smoking gun.' The evidence although mainly circumstantial points overwhelmingly to Soviet complicity. The author concludes that international terrorism is but a form of Soviet expansionism with documentation of the Soviet connection from the US KKK to IRA to the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II.
