A collection of four BBC DVDs covering terrorist incidents.
Episode1: Terror International;
Episode 2: 10 Days of Terror;
Episode 3: The Paris Plot;
Episode 4: War on the West
Whilst political violence has always been with us, in the late 1960s it came of age. Terrorists, realising the power of the media, began to hijack planes and target civilians. The Age of Terror was born. Presented by Peter Taylor, four key episodes are re-examined to pinpoint the seismic shifts in the war between the terrorist and the state.
Using new disclosures and analysis from key participants and insiders, some speaking for the first time, each film charts the rise of terror in our society. Stories start with Entebbe - the hostage drama that gripped the world in 1976, through to the American embassy bombings and the birth of the Al Qaeda movement in 1998.
Duration 4 x 50 minutes.
