Although this work was written prior to 11 September 2001, Jonkers, AFIO WIN 30-02 (29 Jul. 2002), recommends it "for those who look at patterns, trends and other aspects of terrorism."
Friedman, Parameters, Summer 2001, comments that this work "provides a current study to remind the reader that while there are few instances of terrorism alone accomplishing strategic goals, it often succeeds at the tactical level. Dr. Harmon's translations of the primary published thoughts of various terrorists is a major supplement to this book. The author's discussions of using military force against terrorism as well as the potential use by terrorists of weapons of mass destruction will be particularly instructive to military professionals."
For Bath, NIPQ 17.2, "Terrorism Today is well researched and well organized and of great value to those interested in ... the problem of countering terrorist activities."
Joes, I&NS 16.2, finds that this work "provides a useful bibliography and a glossery of terrorist groups. The copious notes are of great value,... containing much useful information and often very astute analytical comments.... [However,] the author is not always as careful as one might like in establishing and maintaining the real and important distinction between terrorists and guerrillas."

Hastedt, Glenn. "Estimating Intentions in an Age of Terrorism: Garthoff Revisited." Defense Intelligence Journal 14, no. 1 (2005): 47-62.
The author does a fine (if at times strained) job of stretching Raymond Garthoff's "10 common fallacies made in estimating and imputing intentions" during the Cold War to cover the war on terrorism. [See Raymond L. Garthoff, "On Estimating and Imputing Intentions," International Security 2 (Winter 1978): 22-32.]

Rose, FA 78.2, calls this work "a concise yet authoritative survey of trends in terrorism past and present."
According to a publisher's note, the revised edition includes "updated coverage" on 9/11 and its aftermath and the Madrid and London bombings.
Hoffman, Frank G. Homeland Security: A Competitive Strategies Approach. Washington, DC: Center for Defense Information, 2002.
Wiggins, Naval War College Review, Spring 2003, comments that the author "stays out of the tactical and operational level of the 'war' [on terrorism] and focuses on the strategic level and the planning cycle." Hoffman "offers a process to enhance U.S. capabilities through a simple 'course of action' analysis based on comparisons of known and perceived threats with strategies used by policy makers in recent history.... [He] provides valuable insights into the various strategies of homeland security that could be undertaken by the United States, making it clear that no single plan will suffice."

Bergen, FA 81.2, comments that the essays included here "examine everything from the economic impact of the [11 September 2001] attacks to the troubled recent history of Afghanistan." The volume inlcudes an article by Richard K. Betts about the U.S. intelligence community.

Jenkins, Brian Michael, et al. Ed., James O. Ellis, III. Terrorism: What's Coming -- The Mutating Threat. Oklahoma City, OK: Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT), 2007.
From Jenkins' "Introduction": "This introduction is about how terrorism has changed over the years and how it hasn't. It suggests that some developments seen as jihadist innovations are, in fact, neither new nor unique. It discerns some disurbing long-term trends, but it also points out some of the limitations inherent in terrorism."
