Created in the wake of the greatest tragedy to occur on U.S. soil,
the Department of Homeland Security was handed a sweeping mandate:
make America safer. It would encompass intelligence and law
enforcement agencies, oversee natural disasters, commercial
aviation, border security and ICE, cybersecurity, and terrorism,
among others. From 2009-2013, Janet Napolitano ran DHS and oversaw
22 federal agencies with 230,000 employees. In How Safe Are We?,
Napolitano pulls no punches, reckoning with the critics who call it
Frankenstein's Monster of government run amok, and taking a hard
look at the challenges we'll be facing in the future. But
ultimately, she argues that the huge, multifaceted department is
vital to our nation's security. An agency that's part terrorism
prevention, part intelligence agency, part law enforcement, public
safety, disaster recovery make for an odd combination the
protocol-driven, tradition-bound Washington D.C. culture. But, she
says, it has made us more safe, secure, and resilient. Napolitano
not only answers the titular question, but grapples with how these
security efforts have changed our country and society. Where are
the failures that leave us vulnerable and what has our 1 trillion
dollar investment yielded over the last 15 years? And why haven't
we had another massive terrorist attack in the U.S. since September
11th, 2001? In our current political climate, where Donald Trump
has politicized nearly every aspect of the department, Napolitano's
clarifying, bold vision is needed now more than ever.
