A complete picture of homeland security and terrorism – past and present
Homeland Security  provides a comprehensive overview of homeland security and terrorism. Acknowledging that homeland security is primarily a response to terrorism, the text examines the threats and operations of terrorist organizations before moving on to U.S. counterterrorism efforts. Homeland security measures are assessed alongside laws and presidential directives from the early 2000s to the present day. The 2nd edition includes new analysis of hotly contested issues such as immigration and border security, cybercrime and cybersecurity, the disaster response system (FEMA), and U.S. government guidance on protecting critical infrastructure and key assets from acts of terrorism.
