International Terrorism & American Foreign Relations, 1945-1976
A study of three major terrorist movements in the Middle East and North Africa.
Cinema and the Algerian War of Independence
The book examines the war of images between France and Algeria. Discussing the role of the United States during the war, it covers topics such the presence of American reporters in Algeria, John F. Kennedy’s support for Algerian independence while a senator, the broadcasting of documentaries on the Algerian war on public television, and reporting in the press. Even half a century after Algerian independence, there remains a need for both film and literature on the war from both sides of the Mediterranean. This might seem surprising, particularly to media professionals, given the quantity of output on the subject, but both French and Algerian portrayals of the war remain flawed and shackled...

The authors demystify the myths of contemporary political terrorism, and conclude with discussions of the interrelationship among political terrorism, the media and civil liberties; counterterrorism policies; the threat that terrorists will go nuclear; and the international terrorist network.

The Historical Origins of Terrorism in America
When we think of American terrorism, it is modern, individual terrorists such as Timothy McVeigh that typically spring to mind. But terrorism has existed in America since the earliest days of the colonies, when small groups participated in organized and unlawful violence in the hope of creating a state of fear for their own political purposes. Using case studies of groups such as the Green Mountain Boys, the Mollie Maguires, and the North Carolina Regulators, as well as the more widely-known Sons of Liberty and the Ku Klux Klan, Robert Kumamoto introduces readers to the long history of terrorist activity in America. Sure to incite discussion and curiosity in anyone studying terrorism or early America, The Historical Origins of Terrorism in America brings together some of the most radical groups of the American past to show that a technique that we associate with modern atrocity actually has roots much farther back in the country’s national psyche.
The Politics of Terrorism, Third Edition,

Anti-Leftist Politics in Modern World History
Systemic and political hostility against the 'left', real and contrived, has been a key, yet under-recognized aspect of the history of the modern world for the past two hundred years. By the 1820s, the new, exploitative and destabilizing character of capitalist industrial production and its accompanying market liberalizations began creating necessities among the working classes and their allies for the new, self-protective politics of 'socialism'. But it is evident that, for the new economic system to sustain itself, such oppositional politics that it necessitated had to be undermined, if not destroyed, by whatever means necessary. Through the imperialism of the later 19th century, and with ...

This book discusses the production of fermentable sugars from cellulosic materials, fermentation products from cellulosic materials, and models and methods for computer control of fermenters. The kinetic hysteresis in enzyme and fermentation systems, immobilization methods, and process control on cultivation of microorganisms are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the yeast-derived products, nuclear modified cephalosporins, and biosynthetic pathways and metabolic regulation. Other topics include the microbial transformations of antibiotics and cytotoxic and antitumor compounds from fermentations. This volume is a good source for students and specialists conducting work on the significant developments concerning fermentation processes.
