THE PROVOST'S LECTURE
Terrorism has become one of the most destructive and worrying aspects of life in 21st-century European cities. Seemingly random and unpredictable attacks have placed us all at risk of injury or death. How new is this phenomenon? Is terrorism more widespread and more dangerous than it has been in the past?
This lecture takes the long view and examines the nature and impact of terrorism in Europe since the nineteenth century.
