Includes bibliographical references (p. [159]-166) and index.

A useful contribution to the growing body of work on terrorism. -- Ronald Payne, Times Literary Supplement The bombings of the World Trade Center and the Oklahoma City federal building have shown that terrorist attacks can happen anywhere in the United States. In this book Philip Heymann argues that the United States and other democracies can fight terrorism while preserving liberty and maintaining a healthy, unified society. Drawing on his experience in the U.S. Departments of State and Justice, he shows how domestic and foreign intelligence-gathering can thwart terrorism, how the United States must cooperate and share information with its allies, and how terrorism can be prevented in many cases. Heymann has written a new introduction for the paperback edition."www.shelfari.com"
