Drawing on his extensive experience, including research, consultations, and first-hand interviews, Richard Hamden presents a unique look at terrorists as individual players with personal motives as well as those of principle. Organizing the psychology of terrorists into four distinct profiles, he establishes the mindset of the individual terrorist, taking into account personal experience, psychological make-up, background, and religious ideology. Without prejudice or bias, he presents an analysis of terrorists and terrorist behavior and demonstrates the validity and reliability of profiling to understand ideological motivations and create tactical objectives to counter terrorist threats.
