reviewed Containing the Threat from Illegal Bombings: An Integrated National Strategy for Marking, Tagging, Rendering Inert, and Licensing Explosives and Their Precursors on August 12, 2010 Containing the Threat from Illegal Bombings
Concise and elegant, this will hopefully become a mainstay of the national security and peace-studies cannon.
Despite his evidence being necessarily a bit thin on sample size, Krueger builds a strong case for his unorthodox, and extremely relevant and powerful conclusions.
Fair warning, this book is based on an academic lecture, so the author pulls no punches with integrating college-level statistics concepts, but lacking a strong background should only marginally detract from his message.
Including many of his full charts and data values was a really critical component of the book to me, it's nice to see a mainstream book giving the actual data upon which it's based inline, as opposed to shoved in an appendix.
I personally consider the book a must read for anyone interested in the politics of terrorism, security, or individual rights. If I was only able to read one book this year on terrorism or national security, this would be it.
