In this provocative history, Mike Davis explores the century-long evolution of modern terrorism through the lens of car bombs, from their inception in a 1920 New York attack to their current role as a common weapon used worldwide. Highlighting how these explosives have transformed urban landscapes, Davis examines the complicity of state intelligence agencies and argues that the pervasive threat of car bombs is reshaping cities and lifestyles more significantly than other forms of terrorism.
