Cassidy, Parameters 37.2 (Summer 2007), notes that the aim of this book "is to glean best practices in order to arrive at some generalizations about the way ahead on ... efforts to counter terrorism.... The book prescribes policy fixes which are not necessarily epiphanous or timely, but are indeed correct and cogent." It is "a well-written and well-researched contribution to the ... corpus of books on counterterrorism." It is also "a relatively easy read."

For Peake, Studies 52.2 (Jun. 2008), this work "provides an interesting review of terrorism as experienced by six countries [the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Egypt, and Sri Lanka] and viewed by academics, but it presents nothing new and certainly no strategies for the future that have not already been implemented."
