Reviews

Lee argues that while terrorism is one threat, there are many risks that require a thorough understanding of the causes and effects of 17 critical factors that threaten many key resources. From chemical warfare to cyber threats, workplace violence to narcotics trafficking, Lee emphasizes the need to constantly learn from every incident as past lessons are not easily learned. Real cases prove her points. This is a must read for those who care about national security. --Senator Ted W. Lieu (D), State Senator of Senate District 28
