The reviewer has no idea where the "October 7, 1998 attack on the Egyptian covered spice bazaar" took place (113). The lengthy quote at the bottom of page 131 and the top of page 132 concerning Afghanistan and central Asia does not seem to have any relation to the discussion concerning Chechnya and Georgia that precedes it. The note on page 206 (16ff.) should be corrected from "Nizar" to "Nizam al-Mulk" (in any case his assassins were hardly suicide attackers; they made an attempt to flee and were later captured). In general, the attempt to use Zealots, Ismailis, and Thugs as historical antecedents for contemporary suicide attacks has serious problems, because none of these organizations conducted any operations that can be categorized together with suicide attacks (4-12).
