Rohan Gunaratna and Michael Chandler's Countering Terrorism: Can We Meet the Threat of Global Violence? was recently reviewed in the journal Studies in Conflict and Terrorism. The reviewer notes,

The authors reserve their harshest criticism on the failure of the United Nations to provide the necessary leadership for the global War on Terror. They decry the failure to carry out the comprehensive and collaborative response after 11 September 2001 and the failure to fulfill the initial expectations of improved international cooperation. . . .

Their urgent warning of the failures thus far, and the need for urgent redress given that these very failures are contributing to an obvious worsening of the threat of global terrorism, are messages that governments and policymakers need to hear. In sum, this is therefore a timely and valuable book, and as Loretta Napoleoni has said on the back cover in her endorsement, 'required reading for Number 10 and the White House.'
