Marco Pinfari argues that portraying terrorists as unmanageable monsters typically serves specific political agendas that, in turn, are designed to legitimize specific counter-terrorist policies. For terrorists, acting in ways that can be perceived as uncontrollable and inhumane is a rational tactic that has many precedents in the history of terrorism. By exploring the rational processes that lie behind the portrayal (or self-representation) of terrorists as inhumane, brutish and monstrous beings, this book challenges several common perceptions of the nature of contemporary terrorism.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarco Pinfari\u003c\/strong\u003e is Assistant Professor of International Relations at the American University in Cairo (AUC).
