War, Violence, Terrorism, and Our Present World: A Timeline of Modern Politics : 9781543419009

Why Are We Facing Never Ending Terrorism?

Political violence and terrorism have been, literally, bleeding humanity throughout the world. This book sheds light on terrorism, highlighting the causes of this evil, including religion, wealth disparity, poverty, dysfunctional government, and the crippling lending policies of international financial institutions.

In particular, it highlights one major gray area not discussed by conventional writers - the Colonial Legacy.

This book highlights every aspect of political development from the birth of new nations to the race for supremacy. The impact of scarce mineral resources, the role of religions, the Shia-Sunni turmoil in the Middle East, and last but not least, the militarization processes are all discussed.

Greed allows terrorism to take root and to be nurtured. It leads the religious to be abused and innocent people to be victimized by war's profiteers.
