Countering Terrorism: Dimensions of Preparedness
Book
By Robyn Pangi, Former Research Specialist, Executive Session on Domestic Preparedness, International Security Program and Arnold Howitt, Executive Director, Ash Institute
The United States now knows that it is vulnerable to terrorist attacks. In Countering Terrorism, experts from such disparate fields as medicine, law, public policy, and international security discuss institutional changes the country must make to protect against future attacks. In these essays, they argue that terrorism preparedness is not just a federal concern, but one that requires integrated efforts across federal, state, and local governments.
