Building further upon its previous edition, Protecting The Homeland 2006/2007 by the team of Michael D'Arcy, (A Lecturer in Science and Security at King's College) Michael O'Hanlon, (A Senior Fellow in Foreign Policy Studies at Brookings) Peter Orszag, (The Joseph A. Pechman Senior Fellow in Economic Studies at Brookings) Jeremy Shapiro, (The Director of Research for the Center on the United States and Europe at Brookings) and James Steinberg (The Dean of Lyndon B. Johnson School Of Public Affairs) is a solid review of the current state of America's security, critically assessing America's remaining vulnerabilities and offering urgent suggestions to improve the situation. Topics discussed include the importance of intelligence reform, how to better protect infrastructure and provide incentives for the private sector to protect itself, border security, the roles of the Department of Defense and First Responders, countermeasures against specific weapons, and much more. Researched in depth, Protecting The Homeland drives home the message that even though readers today may feel slightly safer than they did in 2001, there remains a great deal to be done.
