It is a must-read to understand the new trinity - democracy, politics and terrorism - of our time that is increasingly becoming more authoritarian where politics is employed to grab the power and terrorize others that are deemed 'unwanted' or the 'other' people, which triggers response - not always though - from the targeted victims. It is a vicious triangle and needs to be studied well to understand this complex matrix. Dr Siddiqui does a wonderful job in taking a fresh look at this new 'trinity' of our time. Highly recommend this book.
