Synopsis The question often asked is: "Are we safer now than we were before September 11, 2001?" Michael A. Sheehan is eminently qualified to answer that question, due to his extensive experience in national security and counterterrorism in New York City as well as worldwide. In this eye-opening account, Sheehan argues that much of the response to 9/11 has been misguided, clumsy, and wasteful of resources. He provides a fascinating window into the world of counterterrorism through anecdotes about training, operations, drills, etc., in which he played a role. He also explains the psychology behind those who deal in terror, and prescribes specific, proactive, and aggressive efforts that must be undertaken to thwart terrorists and to protect American citizens.
