U.S. Government Counterterrorism

While the U.S. government policies and programs that have developed over the decades contain many common threads, specific tools have evolved to meet evolving threats. This book presents a valuable look at U.S. counterterrorism policies and the programs in place to implement them. The text provides a broad understanding of the many facets of counterterrorism efforts in the U.S. and abroad, including the role of domestic and international agencies involved in global counterterrorism efforts. The authors, veterans of the U.S. government'¬"s counterterrorism efforts, address such topics as weapons of mass destruction, interagency coordination, and the congressional role in policy and budget issues.
