There is a lack of books that deal with a clear plan to deal with and defeat terrorists and terrorism as a general concept. Now during the Cold War, there were many books that prposed strategies for how this nation should deal with the Soviets and their allies. Strategies of Containment was one example of this. There are plenty of books that deal with terrorism and get down to its root causes and give biographical sketches of the major players. I have not found a good book that gives a concise strategy to dealing with terrorism until now. A few days ago at the Strand bookstore, I discovered a very detailed, well-presented tome called Terror And Consent. I am in the middle of reading it now and, it's an extremely thought provoking title with ample information and excellent endnotes. It's not from a left or right perspective but just makes for an informative read. If you want more infomation on it, here is the Amazon description with reviews:
