Don't panic : ISIS, terror and today's Middle East / Gwynne Dyer. by Dyer, Gwynne. Call #: 956.054 D996d Subjects IS (Organization)   Terrorism -- Syria.   Terrorism -- Iraq.   Terrorism -- Middle East.   Terrorism -- Religious aspects -- Islam.   Religious fanaticism -- Middle East.   Sunnites -- Iraq -- History -- 21st century.   Jihad -- History -- 21st century.   Islamic fundamentalism -- Middle East -- History -- 21st century.   Middle East -- 21st century. ISBN:  9780345815866 (pbk.) Alternate title:  ISIS, terror and today's Middle East Description:  233 p. : ill., map ; 21 cm. Summary:  "With the rise of ISIS, a new style of terrorism that publicly gloats over acts of extreme cruelty has reawakened the fears of the global audience. Gwynne Dyer argues that the advent of "Islamic State" and its clones does not substantially raise the risk of major terrorist attacks in Western countries. It does, however, pose a grave threat to the Arab countries of the Middle East. The author explains why the Middle East has become the global capital of terrorism, and he examines how terrorist organisations in the Arab world have evolved over time, with particular emphasis on the events of the past fifteen years and the current situation in Syria and Iraq. Dyer departs from his long-standing position that foreign interventions always make matters worse to argue that a little military intervention of the right kind may avert a genocide in Syria. Gwynne Dyer has a Ph.D. in Middle Eastern history from the University of London, has taught at Sandhurst and served on the Board of Governors of Canada's Royal Military College. He is a syndicated columnist, and is the author of The Mess They Made : the Middle East after Iraq"--Provided by publisher.
