Homeland Security

Reviews / Votes

I believe that one of the biggest draws will be the authors, their credentials, and experience in the field. This could be considered the essential book in this field. * James O'Sullivan, Pace University * It includes current issues, like the recent OPM data breach and how cybersecurity has been a shifted focus for homeland security efforts. This text provides the unique perspectives of those in academia studying issues in homeland security, as well as the perspective of a seasoned career practitioner in this field in the public sector. * Ryan Schwoebel, University of Alabama, Birmingham * The author's extensive, firsthand knowledge of the topics comes in loud and clear and in very basic terms that I know students will appreciate and understand. * Robert F. Alonzo, Texas A&M University, San Antonio * Homeland Security: An Introduction, provides an important overview of numerous issues homeland security professionals face every day. The authors deserve great credit for striking the right balance between operational storytelling and policy, network, and organizational theories. For serious students who are prepared to immerse themselves in the field, this textbook will be a go-to source of information and inspiration. * Robert Griffin, founding dean of the College of Emergency Preparedness, Homeland Security, and Cybersecurity, State University of New York at Albany
