Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control: Understanding United States National Security Strategy Relating to Terrorism. Part II: ...

By Doug Lovelace

Terrorism: Documents of International and Local Control is a hardbound series that provides primary-source documents on the worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Chief among the documents collected are transcripts of Congressional testimony, reports by such federal government bodies as the
Congressional Research Service and the Government Accountability Office, and case law covering issues related to terrorism. Most volumes carry a single theme, and inside each volume the documents appear within topic-based categories. The series also includes a subject index and other indices that
guide the user through this complex area of the law. With the addition of commentary from a prominent member of the U.S. national security establishment, Professor Douglas C. Lovelace, this series becomes the premiere resource for an informative and analytical discourse on terrorism and how it
continues to have a catastrophic effect on our society.

Although Professor Lovelace acknowledges the current Iraq debate in his opening pages, Understanding United States National Security Strategy Relating to Terrorism. Part II: Derivative and Supporting Strategies primarily focuses on the similarly difficult topic of how the U.S. may best secure its
homeland. By dividing this topic into three prominent categories (aviation security, maritime security, and domestic security), Professor Lovelace expertly presents a summary of current U.S. security policy and assesses the value of those policies . Within the domestic security category, he also
provides detailed guidance on such specialized issues as bio-defense and the connection between the drug trade and terrorist financing. The Terrorism series remains a unique resource on all issues related to terrorism.
