Since the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was established, it has remained a work-in-progress. This volume is one of the first to examine the strategy that has characterized the DHS’s first five years. It includes contributions from top military, international relations, and security experts. A variety of issues are addressed, including nuclear terrorism, WMDs, military force vs. diplomacy, and intelligence as a means of countering terrorism. It examines preventive measures and explores the delicate balance between national security and the protection of privacy and civil liberties. The book also discusses preparedness for natural and man-made disasters.
