Reviews / Votes
"This a policy book rather than a practitioner's ... chapter on business continuity is of most interest to corporate security readers. In his introduction, Guiora makes the crucial point that police and everyone involved in homeland security 'also have day jobs.' The answer is to make homeland security a help to that day job, not another burden."-Professional Security Magazine
"Guiora stresses the importance of international cooperation and intelligence gathering.
