DYING TO WIN: THE STRATEGIC LOGIC OF SUICIDE TERRORISM
Book ID/图书代码： 08900016B92633
English Summary/英文概要： One of the world’s foremost authorities on the subject of suicide terrorism, esteemed political scientist Robert Pape has created the first comprehensive database of every suicide terrorist attack in the world from 1980 until today. Pape provides a ground-breaking demographic profile of modern attackers—and his findings offer a powerful counterpoint to what we now accept as conventional wisdom on the topic. He also examines the early practitioners of this guerrilla tactic, including the ancient Jewish Zealots, who wished to liberate themselves from Roman occupation; World War II’s Japanese kamikaze pilots; and the Tamil Tigers in Sri Lanka. Dying to Win is a startling work of analysis grounded in fact—not politics—that recommends concrete ways for states to fight and prevent terrorist attacks now. Transcending speculation with systematic scholarship, this is one of the most important studies of the threat of suicide terrorism.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 著名的政治学家Robert Pape是全球对自杀性恐怖主义研究最前沿的权威之一，他建立了第一个全面记录自20世纪80年代至今所有自杀式恐怖袭击的综合数据库。作者在本书中提出了一个突破性的现代袭击者人口统计方式，他的发现有力反击了我们普遍接受的传统思维。他还研究了这种游击战术的早期实践者，包括古代犹太狂热分子、二战的日本神风特攻队飞行员、斯里兰卡的泰米尔猛虎组织等。本书基于事实而非政治完成了一项令人震惊的分析工作，作者为各国打击和防止恐怖主义袭击提出了的具体方式。本书体现了系统的学术性，而非简单臆测，是有关自杀性恐怖主义威胁最重要的研究之一。（LYR）
