Terrorism By Facts On File An opponent who refuses to play by the rules presents a special challenge. This is particularly true when the stakes aren't merely winning or losing a game but life or death for innocent civilians. Terrorists combine deep-seated grievances against society or government with a willingness to resort to any means-including the murder of random people-to achieve their political goals. Not even the United States, one of the most prosperous, powerful, and stable nations, has been immune from terrorist violence. In most cases disaster has been averted by vigilance and skill of law enforcement, often aided by the limitations of the terrorists themselves. But occasionally a terrorist attack proves catastrophic, as when a truck boom claimed 168 lives in Oklahoma City in 1995. As the 21st century opens, combating terrorism is an ongoing challenge. |

That Hideous Strength, Space Trilogy Series By C.S. Lewis / Simon & Schuster Trade Sales The final book in C. S. Lewis's acclaimed Space Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, That Hideous Strength concludes the adventures of the matchless Dr. Ransom. The dark forces that were repulsed in Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra are massed for an assault on the planet Earth itself. Word is on the wind that the mighty wizard Merlin has come back to the land of the living after many centuries, holding the key to ultimate power for that force which can find him and bend him to its will. A sinister technocratic organization is gaining power throughout Europe with a plan to "recondition" society, and it is up to Ransom and his friends to squelch this threat by applying age-old wisdom to a new universe dominated by science. The two groups struggle to a climactic resolution that brings the Space Trilogy to a magnificent, crashing close. |
