Inside Terrorism
This is a book written by Bruce Hoffman on how to define terrorism. He states that
defining terrorism is not that easy rather it is a complex thing. People consider terrorism as

Violent activities but there are many definitions of terrorism revolving around us. The activities
of anti-government dissidents or governments themselves, organized crime syndicates or
common criminals, rioting mobs or persons engaged in militant protest, individual psychotics or
lone extortionists are often termed as terrorism activities. No definition of terrorism has gained
universal acceptance.
