Drawing on ten years of field research in Colombia, Andreas Feldmann argues that armed groups' diverse use of terrorism (repertoires of terrorism) arise from their unique organizational identity, understood as central, distinctive, and enduring attributes distinguishing an armed group from other warring parties. Colombia offers ideal conditions to probe variations in terrorist tactics in civil war due to the high incidence of such attacks, the long duration of the conflict, and the multiplicity and diversity of armed groups participating in the conflict. Through interviews, archival research, and analysis of human rights data, this book explains that repertoires of terrorism, which reflect the identities, foundational myths, ideology, and leadership of armed groups, are employed by armed parties as a means of communication and to assert their relevance and territorial presence. As groups adapt their tactics in accordance with their organizational preferences to the changing conditions in civil wars, these repertoires will change and adapt, leading to a variety of different uses of terrorist activity. Repertoires of Terrorism in Civil War sheds new light on both the actions of non-state actors in Colombia's civil war and our understanding of the function of terrorism in civil conflict"--
