Greenhaven Encyclopedia of Terrorism
List of Terrorist Groups

The Greenhaven Encyclopedia of Terrorism consists of 400 A–Z entries and is directed toward high-school students, grades 10–12. The volume is similar to the other Greenhaven Encyclopedia Of sets, eight of which have been published to date and cover the Middle Ages, witchcraft, and other topics, all designed to provide quick and easy access to information. The encyclopedia is intended only as an overview treating the most prominent groups, individuals, places, events, and issues connected with terrorism. Examples include Abu Sayyaf, Achille Lauro, Airport security measures, Montana Freeman, and Marx, Karl. But barely more than 100 of these entries are terrorist groups. Karl Marz is not normally considered a terrorist. Entry length ranges from several paragraphs to several pages. The volume also has a chronology of events current to February 2007. Greenhaven’s entry into the crowded field of encyclopedias of terrorism is significant in terms of its moderate price and its currency. Other encyclopedic treatments include Facts On File’s single-volume, recently updated Encyclopedia of Terrorism (2007) as well as the multi-volume Encyclopedia of Terrorism (Sage, 2003) and Encyclopedia of World Terrorism (Sharpe, 1997–2003).
