Terror Threat: International And Homegrown Terrorists And Their Threat To Canada

by Dwight Hamilton, Kostas Rimsa

Dundurn | November 19, 2007 | Hardcover

The discovery of a suspected homegrown Islamic terrorist cell in our own backyard last year shocked most Canadians. The question arose: Is this country next on Al Qaeda''s hit list? But although terrorism in Canada did not begin with Al Qaeda, its fundamental dynamics are as unfamiliar to most of the public as the minutiae of quantum physics.

How could such shocking developments happen in a nation of "peacekeepers" that opposed the American intervention in Iraq? The majority of Canadians have no idea why soldiers are presently sacrificing their lives in Afghanistan. Terror Threat provides an examination of every key facet of current terrorist operations affecting this country -- and it does so in a way that shows how serious the dadnger really is. Who are these people? How do they operate? And why in the world are they trying to kill us?

Terror Threat
I am a former RCMP undercover with experience in covert operations and took Kostas Rimsa's courses at Humber back in the 80's.
Points I like about the book:
Written by former members of military intelligence, (Dwight Hamilton and Kosta Rimsa) who both perspectives, an officer and an NCO, not "bedroom slipper" journalists that have no experience in the subject area which they write about. These guys are real, even the CIA says they must be experienced, according to the back cover.
Puts today's Al Qaeda headlines into perspective by integrating Islamic terrorism into a framework that mentions lots of terrorist groups of different beliefs.
Author's attention to detail in tactical matters such as terrorist recruitment, training and organization. There is five or six generations of terrorist groups history, ideology and tactics.
Hardbound book published by a mainstream publishing house, not a small self-publishing company spewing out low-quality paperbacks …therefore more trustworthy and worth the money
Pictures of FLQ telephone # notebook, where did they get their hands on that? And I like the fact that they aren't muckraking journalists out looking for an award by impressing their left-wing peers, or disgruntled former men of uniform that have nothing positive to say about our security services, in these respects, the book is unique. A Canadian first! Invaluable companion volume to their fist book (Inside Canadian Intelligence). I should know, as would anyone with extensive experience in the area.

Excellent research. A Readers Digest into what terrorism is all about.
