Stories of Terrorism

Four Thought

Available for over a year

Benedict Wilkinson challenges how we think about terrorism and uses stories of two very different terrorists to make the case for a different approach. Benedict is a senior research fellow at the Policy Institute at King's College, London, and researches the strategies of different terrorist groups. He argues that terrorists' embrace of violence always comes from a position of weakness, and that it frequently fails to achieve their own political objectives. As a result, he argues that the way in which we confront terrorists needs serious reconsideration. Producer: Katie Langton.
