A memoriam to Ehud Sprinzak, a leading pioneer in the field of political science. His life achievements as a scholar of terrorism & the political contributions he made to the state of Israel as an advisor to former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin are chronicled. Adapted from the source document.

The September 11 attack has created a resolve in America and elsewhere to end terror everywhere. But the history of terror does not inspire much confidence that this determination will be successful.

Memoirs of members of different terrorist organizations active during the 19th & 20th centuries are analyzed to determine what factors motivated terrorist organizations to enter the international community. The memoirs are separated into three categories: 19th-century Russian organizations, mid-20th-century groups that targeted colonial powers, & contemporary terrorist organizations. The political motivations for international terrorism have expanded throughout modern history. Whereas participants in the Russian groups attempted to generate political support by distributing pro-revolutionary materials to the international audience, it is noted that the anti-colonialism movements were concerned with garnering support in ethnic communities in other nations. How the costs of international terrorism have increased over time is assessed. Several recommendations for future research are offered, eg, the analysis of memoirs produced by state-sponsored terrorist groups. J. Parker
