Dr. David H. McIntyre has been writing, teaching, and presenting on National Security and Homeland Security issues for 30 years. He is currently a lecturer at the Bush School of Government and Public Service at Texas A&M University. Before that he was Deputy Director of the ANSER Institute for Homeland Security in Washington, DC. Colonel McIntyre (USA, Retired) began those duties after a 30 year career in the United States Army, where he served in airborne and armored cavalry units, wrote and taught strategy, and retired as the Dean of Faculty and Academics at the National War College.

A retired colonel in the US Army, McIntyre (now, Bush School of Government and Public Service, Texas A&M Univ.) wrote How to Think about Homeland Security to educate future homeland security professionals on how terrorists wielding new and lethal technologies could decimate the US. His intent is not to break new ground; rather, it is to introduce those willing to indulge this grisly mindset to the concepts and vocabulary of risk and threat assessment. The first of the set's two volumes is subtitled "The Imperfect Intersection of National Security and Public Safety." The chapters in volume 2 introduce basic concepts (part 1); provide a clear but terse summary of the strategy of successive presidents to guard against doomsday (part 2); and present new threats that terrorists can use to disrupt or destroy the basic infrastructure of US society (part 3). Summing Up: Recommended. . . Upper-division undergraduates, graduate students, students in technical programs, professionals.
