Book Synopsis
In the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, security became the paramount concern of virtually everyone involved in governing the United States. This title describes the human activities, emotions, relationships, and decisions that shaped the way Americans experienced homeland security.

Trade Review
"Under Construction is extraordinarily well written, original, timely, and its subject matter is extremely important. Fosher's demonstration of the usefulness of an ethnographic approach to the topic is truly valuable - practitioners, planners, and policy makers especially need to read this book." - Anna Simons, author of The Company They Keep: Life Inside the U.S. Army Special Forces"
