Terrorism: Commentary on Security Documents is a hardbound series
that provides primary-source documents and expert commentary on the
worldwide counter-terrorism effort. Among the documents collected
are transcripts of Congressional testimony, reports by such federal
government bodies as the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and
the Government Accountability Office (GAO), and case law covering
issues related to terrorism. Most volumes carry a single theme, and
inside each volume the documents appear within topic-based
categories. The series also includes a subject index and other
indices that guide the user through this complex area of the law.
Volume 119, Catastrophic Possibilities Threatening U.S. Security,
discusses the nightmare scenario of a catastrophic attack on the
United States. While the U.S. national security apparatus remains
focused on the "wars" in Iraq and Afghanistan and appears to be
postulating a future international security environment defined
largely by threats increasingly posed by weak, failing, and failed
states, astute strategists are not discounting the possibility of a
catastrophic attack on the United States. In this volume, Douglas
Lovelace presents a number of documents that help describe,
explain, and assess the nature and severity of the threat of a
catastrophic attack. Offering expert commentary for each section,
Lovelace groups the documents into three categories: Catastrophic
Potentialities in the International Security Environment,
Countering the Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear
Materials, and Catastrophic Cyber Attack. Documents include a
Department of Defense overview of the four categories of strategic
challenges, a Government Accountability Office report addressing
weapons of mass destruction and the actions needed to allocate
resources for counterproliferation programs, and an insightful
overview of the threat of catastrophic cyber-attack by the
Department of Homeland Security. The commentary and primary sources
in Volume 119 will apprise researchers and practitioners of
international law and national security of the perils of a
catastrophic attack against the United States posed by terrorists,
radicals, state failure, and humanitarian disasters.
