This book combines a chronology of terrorism for the period 1988-1991 with a bibliography of the key books and articles on the topic. Mickolus has provided the most comprehensive reference tool available for examining terrorism in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

As Mickolus once more demonstrates, terrorism is alive and well at the beginning of the 1990s. This volume combines a chronology of terrorism, (the fourth Mickolus has produced), with a selective bibliography on the topic, (his third). Covering the period from 1988-1991, this volume follows the same definition of terrorism and the same format and method devised for its predecessor volumes. The result is the most comprehensive look at terrorism available for the period. The earlier volumes are the standard reference chronologies and bibliographies for students and scholars as well as military observers and public policy makers.
