The Ancient Art of Modern Warfare

Is Terrorism Ancient or a Modern Development? (E118)

Listen Later

This continues my description of terrorism and warfare. The previous episode defined terrorism. This episode traces terroristic attacks from the Bible to the First World War and how it differed from modern terrorism. World War One had profound impacts on almost every aspects of human civilization and this included the use of terror to achieve political ends.
