Airing in over 100 countries, Age of Terror included interviews with members of 18 terrorist groups including FARC, the IRA, The Shining Path and Hezbollah.

Marvellously engrossing... Streatfeild's narrative control cannot be faulted. You know where every story is going, but how it gets there is always a thrill. His research is formidable. * Sunday Times on BRAINWASHED *
