Summary: In The Lessons of Terror: A History of Warfare Against Civilians, Caleb Carr examines the history and consequences of using terror tactics in warfare, particularly targeting civilians to achieve political or military goals. Carr argues that terrorism, far from being a modern phenomenon, has existed for centuries and consistently proves to be a counterproductive and morally indefensible strategy. Through a historical analysis that spans from the ancient world to contemporary conflicts, Carr demonstrates that terror campaigns often provoke retaliation and long-term resistance, ultimately leading to failure for those who employ them.
