Terror/Counterterror

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A day like any other...

The drab canvas of the North Korean army tent flaps in the wind as the dark-haired man carefully packs C-4 into a gutted teddy bear. A grandson of the Kurdish diaspora, he'll make sure this toy gets into the hand of a Turkish child. Meanwhile, half the world away, a clean-cut French banker hands a briefcase to a hunched Canadian Army veteran in a crowded London pub. His corporation's support will be remembered when Quebec is an independent nation. In a desert camp in Sudan, a young Japanese woman storms a derelict jetliner, firing rapidly into the lifeless effigies of passengers and crew under the watchful eye of a Syrian instructor. And in Algiers, two technicians in a basement laboratory carefully maneuver a six-kilo plutonium pit into a weapon that may soon level an American city.

At every moment, on every continent, in every country, terrorists are at work. In a world on the brink of collapse-a world of decaying infrastructure, overburdened police forces, bush wars, famine, and impending environmental cataclysm-the price for getting a story on cable news is often measured in body counts.

From Abu Nidal to the ETA, from the Afrikaner Resistance Front to the Worldwide Islamic Jihad, this book is the complete guide to the treacherous underworld of terrorism in 1999. Fifteen terrorist organizations (and six counter-terrorist agencies) are covered in painstaking detail, with hundreds more outlined and ready for use in your campaign. Maps, NPCs, tactics, weapons of mass destruction and many more useful resources make this the ultimate source on terrorist adversaries and adventure material for Millennium's End or any modern or near-future roleplaying game.

This was just the book I was looking for. I'm running a modern espionage game, and I definitely needed this for the background to the bad guys. I also have The Operative's Kit, so both titles should work together to make the next few sessions of my game memorable.
Thank you.

Does this book still stand up if the setting was 2019?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
