Fergal Keane explores the rise in the power of terrorism in the post-war years.

Fergal Keane explores the rise in the power of terrorism in the post-war years. Did the defeat of the British in Palestine and the French in Algeria prove that terror works?

As World War Two came to an end the great colonial powers of France and Britain found themselves embroiled in small-scale conflicts around the globe.

Fergal Keane explores the use of terrorist techniques in Algeria and Mandatory Palestine to find out if they were the crucial factor in the defeat of the colonial powers. He also investigates the development of counter-terror techniques in Kenya and Malaya and explains how and why terror became a component in the internal conflicts of the United Kingdom and Spain.
