Kushner, Harvey W. Terrorism in America: A Structural Approach to Understanding the Terrorist Threat.
Springfield, Illinois: Charles C. Thomas Publisher, Ltd., 1998. [Call Number: HV6432 .K87 1998]
A handy reference for criminal justice and security administration professionals, this book provides an
encyclopedic study of terrorism in the United States. Chapter 1 focuses on the definition of terrorism, the
history of terrorism in the United States, and today's terrorism. Chapter 2 covers international terrorism,
distinguishing between the "old" and "new" terrorist threats. Chapter 3 examines domestic terrorism and
extremist groups. Chapter 4 assesses terrorist groups of the future, with emphasis on freelancers and what
law enforcement agencies can do to cope with this threat. Chapter 5 is a complete analysis of the
domestic, international, and extremist organizations that are currently active. Chapter 6 is a chronological
summary of terrorist and terrorist-related incidents in the United States. And chapter 7 provides the names
and addresses of organizations to contact for information concerning terrorists and extremists. The book
uses actual case examples, such as the Oklahoma City bombing, to illustrate the actions of specific groups
and freelancers.

Larsen, Colonel Randall J., and Lieutenant Colonel Robert P. Kadlec. "Biological Warfare: A Silent
Threat to America's Defense Transportation System," Strategic Review, 16, No. 2, Spring 1998, 5-10.
[Call Number: U162. S76]
The authors discuss the potential threat of biological warfare to the American defense transportation
system. Such warfare could be perpetrated by either terrorists or conventional military opponents during
wartime. Military forces are normally prepared to deal with such a contingency, but the same is not true
of the logistical surface transportation system manned by civilians. The authors call for military planners
to give attention to the biological warfare threat to the civilian transportation network during wartime, the
impact of which could reduce or neutralize the advantages of surprise attack or of technologically
advanced weaponry. lb

Leader, Stefan H. "Terrorists Go for Broke," Security Management, 42, No. 4, April 1998, 73-79.
Three years after the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, a review of domestic terrorist
groups and right-wing extremists suggests that while frontal attacks on government properties remain a
serious threat, indirect attacks on the government's financial stability are also a major concern. Indirect
attacks are being mounted against U.S. financial institutions and systems using everything from pipe
bombs and other traditional weapons to less conventional paper instruments of destruction, such as bogus
checks. These acts are committed both to raise funds for their cause and to disrupt the establishment.

Leifer, John. "Apocalypse Ahead: Nuclear Terrorism," Washington Monthly, 29, No. 11, November
1997, 30-35.
Americans believe that the nuclear threat has disappeared. However, the possibility that a rogue state or
terrorist organization will use weapons of mass destruction (CBRNC) has increased since the end of the
Cold War. According to physicists and members of Congress and of the intelligence community, the
threat is the result of the convergence of four key developments: the proliferation of knowledge about
how to build CBRNC, the increasing amount of fissile material, the deterioration of the security systems
around such material, and the changing face of international terrorism. The writer examines these
developments and identifies a number of actions the U.S. government should take to prevent nuclear
attacks.
