Terrorist Recognition Handbook: A Practitioner's Manual for Predicting and Identifying Terrorist Activities is a non-fiction book about counterterrorism strategies, written by U.S. Navy retired cryptology analyst Malcolm Nance. The book is intended to help law enforcement and intelligence officials with the professional practice of behavior analysis and criminal psychology of anticipating potential terrorists before they commit criminal acts. Nance draws from the field of traditional criminal analysis to posit that detecting domestic criminals is similar to determining which individuals are likely to commit acts of terrorism. The book provides resources for the law enforcement official including descriptions of devices used for possible bombs, a database of terrorist networks, and a list of references used. Nance gives the reader background on Al-Qaeda tactics, clandestine cell systems and sleeper agents, and terrorist communication methods.
Terrorist Recognition Handbook received two separate book reviews in the academic journal Perspectives on Terrorism.[2][3] The journal placed the book on its "Top 150 Books on Terrorism and Counterterrorism".[2] Its second review of the book wrote that the Terrorist Recognition Handbook "provides a comprehensive and detailed treatment of terrorism and counter-terrorism."[3] A review published by RSA Conference called it "required reading", and "a must-read for anyone tasked with or interested in anti-terrorism activities."[4]Midwest Book Review rated it "highly recommended for those in charge of security and community library military collections."[5]
