The radically new homeland security, military, and legal strategies
developed by the United States in the months following the
terrorists attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon are given
comprehensive treatment in this book by a former senior Pentagon
official, combat veteran, and criminal prosecutor. Stephen Duncan
draws on a lifetime of military and legal experience to examine the
many questions relating to the role of the armed forces in homeland
security, including elements of constitutional and criminal law,
foreign policy, tradition and custom, federal-state and
inter-agency relations, and politics, as well as military strategy
and operations. Among the diverse subjects the author discusses are
military tribunals and the International Criminal Court, the statue
governing the use of military personnel in law enforcement, defense
transformation, the constitutional power of the president, and the
reorganization of the government to meet the terrorist threat.
Duncan also discusses the strategy and tactics used in Afghanistan
and Iraq and critically evaluates the nation's political leadership
before and after the 9/11 attacks. His book gives readers access to
a wealth of information essential to an understanding of the full
picture and at the same time puts them in the midst of policy
debates to grasp the immediacy of the situation. This important and
absorbing historical narrative will attract general readers as well
as those with experience in national security issues, politics, and
the law. Stephen M. Duncan served as assistant secretary of defense
in two administrations and as a federal criminal prosecutor in a
third. A resident of Alexandria, Virginia, he is also the author of
Citizen Warriors.
