Why Terrorism Works

"Dershowitz's book will anger unreconstructed civil libertarians, the government-phobes on the extreme right, and Arafat's European apologists. That is a considerable merit; but more important is that he has shown that international terrorism does not present an insoluble contradiction between the Constitution and American security. Police tactics and legal doctrines can be reasonably and defensibly adjusted to the threat without turning the country into either a police state or a libertarian playground for killers.Dershowitz, Alan M. is the author of 'Why Terrorism Works', published 2002 under ISBN 9780300097665 and ISBN 0300097662.
