  • The Galleries

    The galleries display a collection of images, supplemented by suggestions for other visual, audio, and textual materials. Printing images in a volume, such as Another Kind of War, is so expensive that it limits the amount of illustrations to a handful at best. Moreover, the requirement that printed images be of a high resolution also restricts the choice of illustrations. Yale University Press and I, therefore, came to an agreement that we would multiply the number of useful illustrates by presenting the great majority of them on a free website. This gives me the opportunity to use an extensive offering of about 400 images. These are keyed into the chapters of the book, but can be used by others, since they are thematically grouped. The chapter organization is as follows: Chapter 1—On Terrorism (a general overview of terrorism at several levels, from state terrorism to radical terrorism by individuals); Chapter 2—Rule by Fear: State Regime Terrorism; Chapter 3—War on Civilians: Military Terrorism; Chapter 4—White Knights: Social Terrorism in America 1865-1965; Chapter 5—Propaganda of the Deed: The First Wave of Radical Terrorism, 1848-1920; Chapter 6—Second Wave Ethno-Nationalist Terrorism: The FLN and the PIRA; Chapter 7—Tales of Two Tragedies: Palestinians and Israelis, 1881-1985; Chapter 8—Urban Guerrillas: Marxist Terrorism during the 1960s and 1970s; Chapter 9—Islamist Terrorism—Ideology and Radicalization in the Third Wave; Chapter 10—Regional Jihad: Hezbollah and Hamas; Chapter 11—Global Jihad: Al Qaeda and the Islamic State; Chapter 12—Radical Right-Wing Violence in the United States; Chapter 13—Narcoterrorism; Chapter 14—Homeland Security; Chapter 15—Confronting Terrorism.

    The Galleries will follow the chapter organization of the book, and within each, the images will begin with those images that concern the introductory section of that chapter.

    The selection of images in the galleries are governed by rules of rights and permissions. What one throws onto Facebook is one thing; what one posts on a formal website such as this is quite another. The great majority of the images included here come from Wikimedia Commons, a wonderful, though not perfect, source of images established as being in the public domain. Other sources include the Library of Congress, the National Archives, and an assortment of smaller, lesser known, but still valuable free sites. Some images have been bought from Alamy, iStock, AP, and Reuters. Still others are offered under the standards of “Fair Use” which allow presenting copyrighted images without permission or expense in certain cases. With only a few exceptions, the Fair Use images here come from Wikimedia Commons and from Wikipedia. Because our site is free, educational, and, in certain cases, provides only low-resolution images, I contend that the standards of Fair Use employed by Wikimedia Commons and by Wikipedia apply to this site as well. We keep on record the paper work on all images used, and this includes the rationale defending those we believe to the legitimately shown under Fair Use.

    Note that images or collections of images that we are prohibited by licenses or expense are often referenced, with proper URLs, at the end of chapter sections of the Galleries under images, films, and videos.

    Beyond the images shown here, the galleries will at times also point the way to other sites that present images, videos, and music. In addition, there are some cases in which the galleries will also indicate documents available on the web. We take no responsibility for the choice of particular materials, included with or without permissions, on sites we indicate, I simply note their presence.
