Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents provides expert commentary and primary-source documents on the worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Among the documents collected are transcripts of Congressional and Parliamentary testimony, reports by quasi-governmental organizations, and case law covering issues related to terrorism. The series also includes a subject index and other indices that guide the user through this complex area of the law. Overall, the series keeps users up to date on the panoply of terrorism issues now facing the United States and the world. Doug Lovelace, Director of the Strategic Studies Institute at the U.S. Army War College, prepares U.S.-based volumes. Kristen E. Boon (Seton Hall School of Law) and Aziz Huq (University of Chicago School of Law) prepare the international and foreign volumes.
Volume 103: Global Issues takes readers on a tour of the world's regions most troubled by terrorist activity. In particular, General Editor Doug Lovelace has selected documents on Pakistan's havens for Taliban insurgents fighting against coalition forces in Afghanistan. Lovelace also here provides primary material dealing wih Pakistan's alleged role in the Mumbai attacks, Latin American terrorist developments, and China's putative cooperation with the U.S. in the latter's global anti-terror campaign. Lovelace frames all of these materials in balanced commentary that allows researchers to make their own conclusions on these urgent topics.
Long description:
With this volume of Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents, Oxford continues the recent changes to this series that have justified a new publisher-brand, a new title, and a re-designed cover. That new title emphasizes the expert commentary now provided by three leading scholars in the field: Doug Lovelace, Director of the Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute, Kristen Boon of Seton Hall Law School, and Aziz Huq of the University of Chicago School of Law. In this particular volume, Lovelace updates researchers on new developments in various regions of the world. He devotes many pages to the debacle along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, where Pakistan harbors extremists conducting the insurgency in Afghanistan. Both the documents selected by Lovelace and his insightful commentary describe how the U.S., under advice from Special Envoy Dick Holbrooke, has changed its approach to the problem by treating Afghanistan and Pakistan as one party instead of two.
Volume 103 ( "Global Issues ") also examines the complex issue of China's possible assistance to terrorists overseas. For example, some weapons used against coalition forces in Afghanistan originate from China, despite China's promise to help the U.S. in its war against terror. Lovelace and the documents he presents also assess India's measured, thoughtful reaction to allegations that Pakistan facilitated the November terrorist attacks in Mumbai. The volume also alerts readers to disturbing developments in South America, where such groups as FARC in Colombia and The Shining Path in Peru have persisted in their profit-seeking campaigns of violence, despite those countries' general success in diminishing their power.
