A very well-written and well-presented case for alternative methods to combatting terrorism based on nonviolent engagement of civil society, rather than the militaristic tactics of the War on Terror. Elworthy and Rifkind (co-author not listed on this site) present a comprehensive strategy for breaking the cycle of terrorism and violence in societies scarred by terrorism and long-standing conflicts. For anyone interested in the study of peace and conflict or international affairs, this tiny book (less than 100 pages!) is well worth your time and a centimeter of space on your shelf.
