Trade Review
"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. While focusing on the U.S. in the main, Guiora also includes valuable reflections on Canada, Israel and the UK. This timely book, in the fields of security studies and law, would benefit both experts and scholars. It is informative, thoughtful and policy-oriented."
—Raphael Cohen-Almagor, University of Hull, UK and author of the popular blog Israeli Politics
"I was impressed by Guiora’s narrowness of focus on the topic while acknowledging that the subject area is quite broad."
—Security Management Magazine
