5.0 out of 5 stars
A totality on terrorism,
By Art Tredinnick (Allentown, PA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Terrorism: Defensive Strategies for Individuals, Companies and Governments (Paperback)
Mr. Hogan has brought together some of the finest minds in the field to provide an in-depth appreciation for the history, psychological mindset, weapon availability, and potential acts of those who would do harm to this nation. Although it discusses in detail case studies of recent attacks, its most valued contribution is to allow an understanding of the multiple discipline approach to prevention and reaction. This team building between responders, some of which have not been considered a high priority in the past, strongly supports the sequential unified command approach to emergency management. It is this team approach, not single agency dominance over terrorism that makes this book so timely.
