This second comprehensive chronology of international terrorist attacks covers three eventful years during which the Islamic State supplanted al-Qaeda as the most active, well-financed and well-armed terrorist group worldwide. Domestic and international incidents around the globe are covered, outlining several trends and exploding a number of media myths. The author examines the enigmas of contemporary terrorist behavior and offers indicators and predictions to watch for in the coming years.

Edward Mickolus teaches at the University of North Florida, is a member of the Board of Advisors at the Daniel Morgan Graduate School in Washington, D.C. and is the president of Vinyard Software, Inc., which publishes datasets on international terrorism. A 33-year veteran of the US Central Intelligence Agency, he is the author of 35 books, including a series of multi-volume chronologies and biographies on international terrorism.
