O knihe

Can America construct a grand strategy to counter terrorism?

Years after September 11, the United States still faces terror threats-both domestic and foreign. Undeterred by wars, ever more intensive and pervasive surveillance, enhanced security measures at major transportation centers, and many attempts to explain whom we are fighting, and why, and how to push back, the threats continue to multiply. So, too, do our attempts to understand just what terrorism is and ways to counter it.

Two leaders in the field of terrorism studies provide a critical look at responses to the terror threat over the years-and make clear why the task is so difficult. The foes are multiple and often amorphous, the study of the field dogged by disagreement about definitions and methodology, and the creation of policy hobbled by an exacting standard: the counterterrorist must succeed all the time; the terrorist only once.
