Are these books considered 'History' books?

by wounderby

I have a book review assignment and I'm not sure if either of these books are considered to be historical. How do i know if they're under the genre of history?

No End to Terrorism - Walter Laqueur

The New Terrorism - Walter Laqueur

gent2012

Yes, they are. Laqueur is one of the most, if not the most, prominent historian of terrorism.
