520    Since the first airplane hijacking, Middle Eastern 
       terrorists have sacrificed innocent human lives in the 
       name of ideology, and terrorism has emerged as the most 
       important security concern of our time. Ensalaco has 
       written a thoroughly researched narrative account of the 
       origins of Middle Eastern terrorism, addressing when and 
       why terrorists started targeting Americans and American 
       interests and what led to the September 11 attacks. The 
       author reveals the changing motivations from secular 
       Palestinian nationalism to militant Islam and demonstrates
       how competition among terrorists for resources and 
       notoriety has driven them to increasingly extreme tactics.
       As he argues, terrorist attacks grew from spectacle to 
       atrocity. Although the face of terrorism has changed, its 
       nature has not. Acts of terror are war crimes, and 
       terrorism is a crime against humanity.
