In the wake of the September 11 attacks, American citizens within
the United States constantly worry about security against future
terrorist attacks. But author Gordon Greer delves further into this
subject by trying to understand why the general public is so intent
on the ramifications of security measures, such as the Patriot Act.
The history of warfare might provide an answer. Greer examines
domestic security throughout the history of the United States.
During a period of war or the aftermath of war, the American
government has generally found it necessary to install security
measures that may limit a citizen's basic rights or freedoms. Greer
discusses these security issues from the earliest history of the
United States, beginning with the early American settlers and the
Revolutionary War through World War II and the Cold War. Greer
points out that ordinary American citizens may chafe under the
constraints such wars produce simply because the United States has
arguably never been a totalitarian government. "What Price
Security?" is a thought-provoking look at a subject that affects us
all, offering insight into how America can protect itself against
future attacks.
