As potential targets, such as military facilities, symbols of
democracy, government buildings, and infrastructure are 'hardened'
against possible terrorist attack, terrorists will shift to softer
targets: churches, schools, malls, mass entertainment centers,
high-rise apartments, transportation centers, and energy
facilities. Their goal will be to disrupt or destroy our economy,
impose fear and uncertainty, break our national will, and deflect
our attention and support from the Middle East. We could wait for
it to happen, or we can prepare now. This new book empowers
Americans by providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to
understand terrorist strategies, which, in turn, allow each of us
to contribute to disrupting the terrorists' intended goals through
observing and reporting suspicious activity, reducing target
vulnerabilities, and minimizing casualties through education and
preparation. The authors define terrorism and its origins and
describe present-day organizations: where they operate, what their
philosophies entail, and what their motivation and objectives are.
They review different terrorist tactics and their desired effects,
providing readers with guidelines and checklists for surviving
them. Knowing how to prepare for, and how to survive, an attack is
a step toward marginalizing intended casualty rates, psychological
impacts, and propaganda values. At the same time, the lifesaving
skills presented in this book may also be used in naturally
occurring catastrophic events such as hurricanes, tornadoes,
floods, or earthquakes.
