America's War on Terror, Second Edition supplies experts with a number of different yet essential vantage points into the foreign policymaking process and issue areas that characterize and define US counterterrorism policy.’ Chris J. Dolan, Lebanon Valley College, USA '...presents a timely and comprehensive analysis of the background, consequences and challenges of the war on terror. It addresses such diverse and complementary topics as budgetary priorities, military power, homeland security and presidential leadership. The interdisciplinary approach, careful research and clear writing recommend this text highly to students and scholars alike.' Meena Bose, Hofstra University, USA
