New York City has long been a breeding ground for spies, saboteurs,
terrorists, and other threats to the nation and its greatest city.
"Battleground New York City" examines the history of domestic
security operations and the people and agencies involved in
safeguarding the city that never sleeps. Starting with the bloody
draft riots during the Civil War, Thomas Reppetto guides the reader
through New York City s history, emphasizing the battles against
twentieth-century German and Russian spies and more recent ones
against Islamic radicals. This book illustrates how, over the
course of two world wars, numerous political and social upheavals,
and shocking terrorist attacks, the United States developed a
complex web of organizations responsible for identifying and
neutralizing security risks. New York has been the training and
proving ground for law enforcement agencies in developing the
organizations, strategies, and tactics now used to protect citizens
nationwide. The histories and operations of the U.S. Secret
Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the New York Police
Department, and other organizations provide insight into recent
events and what the United States needs to do to protect all of its
citizens."Battleground New York City" is the exciting story of the
men and women who have dedicated their lives to protecting a city
under threat.
