Greetings!
Welcome to the Terrorism Web site. It is here that you will find much of the information pertinent to your studies in terrorism this Winter Term. You should begin by checking out the course syllabus in order to understand the goals and objectives of this senior history seminar, as well as the course requirements and grading policies. Also, please visit the page for eJournals; it is here that I will post the various entries due each week.

2006 Textbooks
The Terrorism seminar will use two relatively new textbooks in 2006. The first book, entitled The 9/11 Commission Report, was recently published by the U.S. government after the completion of an exhaustive examination of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. The second book, Perspectives on Terrorism, is edited by Allan J. Cigler. "The (20) articles selected for this book of readings have been chosen with an eye toward helping readers reflect on how American government and politics have been and will be affected by the events of September 11." (Cigler 4)

Mark your calendars
Please follow the easy-to-use calendar for noting the due dates of reading assignments, weekly ejournals, research checkpoints, multi-media projects, research presentations, as well as your mid-term exam, term paper, and final examination. The January, February and March calendars will be revised and updated on a regular basis. Check in often.

Research and Web Resources
The resources for Terrorism are diverse and divergent. Use the Web Resources to help supplement the readings, begin your research, or prime your interest in a particular area of study. The list is a work in progress and will continue to grow throughout your course work during the term. Terrorism resources are indexed via U.S. Government Sites, U.S. Government Reports, International Organizations, Terrorism Information Organizations, Expert Opinions and Links. Furthermore, you will find a series of PowerPoint presentations on terrorist groups and individuals produced by previous students.
