Suicide Bombers (Hardcover)

Description:

What leads young men and women to strap on belts of explosives and detonate themselves in a crowd? Is it a religious belief that rewards acts of martyrdom with promises of paradise? Is it the parental support they receive for their convictions? Is it encouragement from a downtrodden society with no other perceived means of fighting back against oppression? Or is it brainwashing? Elaine Lanoau explores these questions, delving into the ways vulnerable people are selected and trained for missions. Beginning with a profile of typical suicide bombers, she reveals how their attacks are meticulously planned and discusses the religious philosophy that fuels their actions.
