TY - JOUR PY - 1983// TI - Review Essay: The International Network of Terrorism JO - Journal of peace research A1 - Stohl, Michael SP - 87 EP - 94 VL - 20 IS - 1 N2 - Claire Sterling's The Terror Network and Edward Herman's The Real Terror Network are reviewed and reactions to the authors' research and subject matter in the scholarly and popular press compared. It is ar gued that Sterling's work suffers from sloppy argument and questionable evidence and a lack of apprecia tion of the interaction between politics and history. Herman's work, an avowedly polemical piece, deserves far more attention that it has thus far received despite some shortcomings in the analysis which at times seem to confuse structural arguments with conspiracy. Both works point to the need to further explore the role of the state in the terror process.
