Since the September 11th attacks, we have learned much about terrorism and how to deal with it. Recognizing that preparation is the best defense, this book lays out a strategy for handling an entire range of possible terrorist incidents in a language friendly to first responders, policymakers, and security personnel. Now in its third edition, this important and timely volume features new information on weapons of mass destruction, including anthrax, small pox threats, and the use of an airplane as an explosive device. It also presents a discussion on the post-blast environment surrounding the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
