Hardback. Condition: Good. Former Air Force Colonel Randall J. Larsen has dedicated his career to keeping America safe. The man who many consider to be one of the foremost experts on homeland security now believes that America's government and citizens often stand in the way of their own safety--by asking the wrong questions. With the specter of ever-growing, dangerous threats, OUR OWN WORST ENEMY is a crucial book for every family. In it, Larsen offers a meticulous examination of the key issues that contribute to national security, such as the economy, border protection and immigration, and national health care. He also identifies why the government is not prepared to help us in a time of crisis (e.g. Hurricane Katrina), and lays out how citizens, communities, and businesses can protect themselves, their families, and their assets. Larsen's strict assessment will have readers asking, 'Who should be in charge of logistics during a major disaster?' 'How do we prevent a terrorist organization from becoming a nuclear power?' and 'What can I do to prepare myself and my family?'.…

Buch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - OUR OWN WORST ENEMY provides a solid, practical, logical approach to personal security for all Americans and explains why the government is not prepared to help us in a time of crisis (Katrina, 9/11, etc.). Leading homeland security expert Randall J. Larsen details what we must do as citizens to protect ourselves, our families and our assets. The key, Larsen argues, is finally asking the right questions about homeland security, such as:'How do we prevent a terrorist organization from becoming a nuclear power ' The media frequently poses the question: 'What can we do to ensure that al Qaeda does not smuggle a nuclear weapon into the U.S. through one of our ports ' But the right question should focus on prevention -- and the answer is far different from the discussion that dominates the debate and the spending priorities of the Bush Administration and Congress.'Who should be in charge of logistics during a major disaster ' Larsen says that it's not the military.
