This combination A-Z encyclopedia and primary document collection
provides an authoritative and enlightening overview of U.S. anti-
and counterterrorism politics, policies, attitudes, and actions
related to both foreign and domestic threats, with a special
emphasis on post-9/11 events. This book provides a compelling
overview of U.S. laws, policies, programs, and actions in the
realms of anti- and counterterrorism, as well as comprehensive
coverage of the various domestic and foreign terrorist
organizations threatening America, including their leaders,
ideologies, and practices. These entries are supplemented with a
carefully selected collection of primary sources that track the
evolution of U.S. anti- and counterterrorism policies and political
debate. These documents will not only illuminate major events and
turning points in America's fight against terror-both foreign and
homegrown-but also help readers understand debates about the
effectiveness, morality, and constitutionality of controversial
policies that have either been implemented or proposed, from
waterboarding to targeted assassination to indefinite incarceration
at Guantanamo Bay. In addition, this resource shows how political
controversies over anti- and counterterrorism strategies are
spilling over into other areas of American life, from debates about
privacy rights, government surveillance, and anti-Muslim actions
and beliefs to arguments about whether U.S. firearms policies are a
boon to terrorists. Wide-ranging encyclopedia section featuring
contributions from counterterrorism scholars Primary Document
collection that provides additional illumination on major events,
laws, policies, and trends Authoritative and evenhanded coverage of
counterterrorism threats, issues, events, laws, policies, and
organizations Reader's Guide to entries by subject category
