The Forgotten Terrorists: Lessons from the History of Terrorism

Jeffrey Simon

Terrorism and Political Violence, 2008, vol. 20, issue 2, 195-214

Abstract: One of the most intriguing, yet forgotten, terrorist groups in history is the Galleanists, an innovative group of militant Italian anarchists active in the United States during the early part of the twentieth century. They introduced tactics and strategies that are widely used today in the world of terrorism. This article examines the rise and fall of the group, and discusses how America's experience with it holds many lessons for understanding today's global terrorist threat.
