Ranging from Guatemala to Palestine, interrogating notions of homeland, and unpacking the myths of the Irish Republican Army, the Red Army Faction, and Sendero Luminoso, the contributors to "Terror and History" revise our notions of terror and terrorism. The issue also includes a critique of the new war movies like "Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, "and" Black Hawk Down." In an interview, Mike Davis discusses his book-in-progress "Heroes from Hell, "delving into the revolutionary terror that gripped most of Europe after the French Revolution.
