, north carolina. >> host: duke university history professor martin miller the author of the book "the foundation of terror, the dynamics of political violence." prefer miller is there a working definition of modern terrorism? >> guest: well, what i have tried to do is to formulate one which is a perilous path because so many others tried. there's a book length mono graph on just that, definitions. so, i think that the clearestest way to understand what i tried to do is to refer back to what in fact are two kinds of perspectives. one is the idea that governments and especially dictators exercise terror against their own citizens; the hitlers, extollines, pol pots of the world, and the other is the world of post-9/11 that we're most familiar with, which is insurgencies from -- that they are in fact a danger to us. so what i tried to do in this book is to bring together those two strands to understand it's an interactive process between governments and their security agencies on the one hand, and insurgencies with their international networks on the others. it's the interactive process t
