Beskrivning
In the decade that followed 9/11, technologies and technology policies became central to homeland security. For example, the U.S. erected new border defenses with remote sensors and biometric scanners, and deployed new autonomous air warfare capabilities, such as the drone program. Looking at efforts to restore security after 9/11, the work examines issues such as the rise in technology spending, the various scenarios of mass terror, and America's effort to ensure that future engagements will take place far from the homeland. Operation Iraqi Freedom, Iran's emergence as nuclear threat, and North Korea's acceleration of its missile program are analyzed along with the "axis of evil" and America's effort to create a ballistic missile shield to thwart this emerging threat to its security. By focusing on the technologies of homeland security rather than on cyber warfare itself, the work offers a unique and needed survey that will appeal to anyone involved with the study and development of homeland and strategic security.

Recensioner i media

State of Recovery provides a much needed comprehensive and informed assessment of the role technology and innovation plays among U.S. adversaries in their efforts to undermine U.S. national and international security interests. Zellen further provides an insightful look into what the U.S. is doing, through its own employment of technological means, to combat or circumvent adversarial efforts. Rooted in his exhaustive and astute understanding of this complex issue, his three-dimensional look goes a long ways toward filling a significant void in this body of literature.
