		Laqueur was researching a book about Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany who, like himself, were old enough to have received some education in Germany but young enough to have lived out most of their adult lives in adopted homelands.
		Laqueur is focused above all on the peculiarities of individual stories, as a testament to the dispersal of his contemporaries.
		Laqueur has a homeland to which he returns in mind and heart, it would seem to be the entire 20th century, which he has explored for the past 45 years with a keen eye for the most significant times and places.

	Extreme Meassures - Council on Foreign Relations
		One of Laqueur's major intellectual claims is that terrorism has shifted from a predominantly left-wing phenomenon to a right-wing phenomenon since the end of the Cold War.
		Laqueur's silence is particularly unfortunate since he argues in several places that fanatical Islam may be the principal wellspring of political terrorism in our time.
		Laqueur acknowledges that Jews were occasionally treated well in the Muslim world; what he needs to understand is that from the 7th century to modern times, Jews were consistently and routinely treated better throughout the Muslim world than in Christendom.

	FORWARD : Arts & Letters (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Laqueur is too fair a writer to ignore the people whom fate has passed over when he discusses the overachievers of the generation.
		Laqueur discusses this in the final section titled "Portrait of a Generation," in which the juxtaposition of Koszyk-Schiftan and Gruenfeld is offered as just one proof of the impossibility of calling this a single generation.
		Laqueur's attempt to write the autobiography of his generation is heroic, but when all the stories of his contemporaries are told, we are left wondering whether these German Jews have any more in common with one another than do any other Jews in the Diaspora.

	Commentary Magazine - Young Germany 1900-1960, by Walter Z. Laqueur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		...Laqueur is formally right when he sees vagueness in the early Wandervogel, but the attachment of the youth to the "folk" and to the German cosmos of nature was never vague, and it was this romanticism that set the tone for the war and its aftermath...
		...Laqueur quite rightly starts his discussion with a chapter on the "romantic prelude": it was the romanticism that followed the French Revolution which provided the impetus for German nationalism...
		...Laqueur's perceptive book is a fascinating and sensitive narrative of a failure, but a failure which explains better than most successes the working of those attitudes of mind which made Germany the home of the counter-revolution: a counter-revolution against the tradition of the French Revolution, liberalism, and modernity...

	Amazon.ca: Books: No End to War: Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Laqueur lets us see how there are many fanatics that can loosely organize for a cause, and quite a few mentally disturbed individuals who have a cause all their own.
		Laqueur's popularly held view as to the definition of terrorism and I do not admire his writing skills, I cannot fault his in-depth and often counter-intuitive analysis as to the origins of what most of the western world sees as terrorism.
		Laqueur's background as a historian is most evident in the way he dissects the differences between anarchists and radicals who flourished among European intellectuals in the 19th century, the freedom and liberation movements from the early 20th century, and more recent terror movements that are usually associated with religion or life philosophies.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Solitary Sex: A Cultural History of Masturbation - Thomas Walter Laqueur - Hardcover
		Laqueur, a historian at Berkeley, traces this view to the anonymous publication, around 1712, of a tract entitled "Onania." The dangers of onanism became a key concern of Enlightenment thinkers, whose preoccupation with social order made them see this inherently private activity as self-abuse in the most literal sense.
		Laqueur's Making Sex: Body and Gender from the Greeks to Freud is a classic work in history and gender studies, and a regular on syllabi around the world.
		Laqueur's penetrating analysis will fascinate social historians and the intellectual public, but his dense, multilayered prose and zest for colorful details make it rough going for readers habituated to popular magazine sound bites.

	Mattox \| Damned if You Do and if You Don't
		While no book on this topic can be sufficiently current given today’s circumstances, Walter Laqueur’s recent volume provides information and insight essential to developing an informed opinion on terrorists, their tactics, and what can and should be done to combat them.
		Laqueur begins by tackling the frustrating but necessary task of defining the subject he intends to analyze.
		Even if no one living in the post-9/11 age would need Laqueur to tell them, his answer is clear and definitive: there is no limit or end to the religious, ideological, apocalyptic, or psychopathic motives that can inspire acts of terrorist violence.

	Commentary Magazine - Germany Today, by Walter Laqueur (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In 1979-80, with the explosion of the "peace" movement, the question of the political health and future role of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Atlantic alliance returned to the Western agenda with a vengeance.
		...Laqueur cites some telling poll data to this effect: 79 percent of West Germans describe themselves as content, but over 50 percent think that others are not content...
		...In subsequent chapters Laqueur deals with the protest movements of the 1960's and the so-called "new social movements" of the 1970's and 1980's, including the Greens and the peaceniks, along with their sympathizers and supporters among the intellectuals...

	UPNE \| Generation Exodus
		Walter Laqueur, himself a distinguished member of this group, offers a unique generational history of the young people whose lives were irrevocably shaped by the rise of the Nazis.
		Laqueur shows that these people did not merely survive; they mastered their lives creatively and aggressively under the most adverse circumstances.
		Walter Laqueur is Chairman of the Research Council of the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, DC.

	Crisis Magazine
		As a result, as Walter Laqueur titles his new book, there can be “no end to war”; terror remains our prospect as far as the mind can see.
		Laqueur also details the effect of PC culture on Islamic studies, which meant, in many university programs, a studied disinterest in fundamentalist Islam and a focus instead on Arab secularism.
		Laqueur does not aim to make the world safe for SUVs, but he seems puzzled by those who confuse them for the First Amendment, Twelfth Night, Bach’s Partita in D Minor, the moon landings, the expanding heritage of human rights for all (regardless of race, creed, or gender), and the other achievements of Western culture.

	The Terrible Secret / Auschwitz and the Allies (reviews)
		Laqueur also discusses the stories of this group of Palestinian Jewish repatriates, since it was their "evidence" which supposedly convinced the leaders of Palestinian Jewry of the "reality" of a program to exterminate all European Jews.
		Laqueur also mentions letters received from deportees in other countries, although he usually emphasizes that the number of letters received was small in relation to the number of deportees.
		Laqueur, unlike Gilbert, gives a fairly accurate account of Karski's observations at Belzec, observations which, at the very least, raise questions about the conventional wisdom that Jews were killed by gassing at Belzec.

	Terrorism as War by Parag Khanna - Policy Review, No. 121 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In contrast, Laqueur has dared to ask what few in the American policy community seem to think is necessary: “How do terrorists view themselves?” This question opens the door to a long overdue and far more revealing analysis of the means-ends logic of groups like al Qaeda.
		Laqueur is at his best when debunking numerous, unfortunately widespread myths about the causes and consequences of terrorism.
		But for all his sagacious commentary, Laqueur has for almost three decades remained reluctant to confront the issue of defining terrorism, cautioning that contention over a definition can hinder the proper study of political violence and that terrorists, as if by definition, aim to violate international norms.

	The New York Review of Books: The Riddle of Terrorism
		Laqueur is still deeply skeptical that there is any comprehensive explanation for terrorism, that a scientific sociopolitical theory of terrorism is remotely within reach, or that a definition of terrorism on which most people will agree is possible.
		Whatever aspect of terrorism Laqueur examines, he is struck most by its variety, by the wide range of motives, intentions, participants, organizational structure involved, by the varied degrees of failure and effectiveness.
		Laqueur's contribution to a theory of terrorism is that there is no overarching theory.

	Baader-Meinhof: Age of Terrorism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		The Age of Terrorism is a recent update of Walter Laqueur's classic 1977 study Terrorism (He has actually updated it several times since 1977, so it is wise to look for the most recent version).
		Laqueur is clearly among the most respected world authorities on terrorism.
		Laqueur may seem too conservative for some people's taste, but it is very hard to fault his conclusions.

	Fascism: Past, Present, Future
		Laqueur's assessment benefits greatly from his historical and scholarly knowledge of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

		Laqueur tellingly uncovers contemporary adaptations of fascist tactics and strategies in the French ultra-nationalist Le Pen, the rise of skinheads and right-wing extremism, and Holocaust denial.

	Palestinian Nationalism and Zionism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Professors J. Hurewitz, Walter Laqueur, and Kamal Salibi offer us, by way of their careful historical analyses of the problem, some explanations for this continuing imbroglio in the Middle East.
		In his impressive History of Zionism,* Walter Laqueur traces the development of Zionism from an effort to preserve Jewish socioculture values in the Diaspora to a feebly articulated political doctrine for the reconstitution of Jewish national life in Palestine.
		Professor Laqueur argues that, up to the appearance of Hitler, there had been some grounds for reconciliation of both Zionist and Arab Palestinian claims, but the need to save individual Jews from certain death, by bringing them to and settling them in Palestine, effectively ended any possibility for Arab-Jewish rapprochement.

	Swans Commentary: Puzzlement, by Milo Clark - mgc154
