Samenvatting:

Volume 110 of Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents, "Assessing the GWOT", explores all aspects of the current war against terrorists, as waged by the U.S. overseas. The financial burden of that war and the inflluence of Iran in Iraq serve as particular focal points for this vital reference volume.



Volume 110 of Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents, "Assessing the GWOT", provides researchers with a one-volume update on how the U.S. is faring in its global war on terrorism, or "GWOT". The volume pays special attention to the monetary cost of that war. General Editor Douglas Lovelace also guides readers through a regional tour of the GWOT's battlefields, particularly in Iraq and Afghanistan. Researchers will benefit especially from Lovelace's analysis of the influence that Iran currently exercises over insurgent activity in Iraq. Given the many facets of U.S. anti-terror policy and the many strands of the legal debate over it, this volume provides a helpfully consice and illuminating picture of the current state of that policy.
