5.0 out of 5 starsA Read for Everyone
By lizziecat on July 15, 2011
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
One of the most interesting books I have read in years. Anyone who follows the news and foreign affairs should take the opportunity to read this book which provides a unique and personal perspective on government and foreign affairs. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9-11-01, it will be a reminder to all of us of what is at stake.
Mrs. Bennett has taught us many lessons in this book.

4.0 out of 5 starsMom vs Terorism Expert: Different jobs, Similar Goals
By Melanie K on November 11, 2008
Format: Hardcover
A new book by Gina M. Bennett, a 20-year veteran of the US Intelligence Community and mother of five children, National Security Mom: Why "Going Soft" Will Make America Strong, takes the complicated issues involved in our national security, particularly in the "post 9/11 world," and distills them into easily digestible pieces. The book's unique twist is how Ms. Bennett relates the issues of national security to what goes on in a typical family. That the values that we learned as children and, as parents, are instilling in our own children, are the very same values needed to run government and handle some of the complex issues involved in national security, such as:

* Tell the truth
* If you make the mess, you clean it up
* Don't give in to a bully
* Choose your friends wisely
* Learn from your mistakes

And of course, the job description for parents also requires an in-depth knowledge of issues such as crisis management, conflict resolution, budgeting and diplomacy.

So why aren't there more women in government? On paper, many women--especially mothers--are uniquely suited to participating in government, on whatever level they choose. There are of course other qualifications that must be met--particularly for higher office--but there should be more women serving on city counsels, as mayors, as governors and in Congress. Ms. Bennett pulls this telling statistic from the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University:

"In 2008 women hold only 16.3% of the seats in Congress; 16% of the Senate seats; 23.5% of the statewide elective executive offices across the country; 23.7% of the state legislative positions; and of the mayors of the hundred largest cities in America, only eleven are women.Read more ›
