U.S. Government Counterterrorism

Presenting a rare insider¿s view of the counterterrorism effort, this volume is the first readily available, unclassified guide to the many U.S. government agencies, bureau offices, and programs involved in all aspects of countering terrorism domestically and overseas. Veterans of the U.S. government¿s counterterrorism efforts, the authors address such topics as government training initiatives, weapons of mass destruction, interagency coordination, research and development, and the congressional role in policy and budget issues. They provide unique insights into the broader context of counterterrorism efforts and developments in the ten-plus years since 9/11 and raise future considerations given recent global events.
