Description

U.S. Government Counterterrorism: A Guide to Who Does What is the first readily available, unclassified guide to the many U.S. government agencies, bureau offices, and programs involved in all aspects of countering terrorism domestically and overseas. The authors, veterans of the U.S. government’s counterterrorism efforts, present a rare insider’s view of the counterterrorism effort, addressing such topics as government training initiatives, weapons of mass destruction, interagency coordination, research and development, and the congressional role in policy and budget issues.Includes a Foreword by Brian Michael Jenkins, Senior Advisor RAND CorporationIndividual chapters describe the various agencies, their bureaus, and offices that develop and implement the counterterrorism policies and programs, providing a useful unclassified guide to government officials at all levels as well as students and others interested in how the U.S. counters terrorism. The book also discusses the challenges involved in coordinating the counterterrorism efforts at federal, state, and local levels and explains how key terror events influenced the development of programs, agencies, and counterterrorism legislation. The legislative underpinnings and tools of the U.S. counterterrorism efforts are covered as are the oft-debated issues of defining terrorism itself and efforts to counter violent extremism.In addition to outlining the specific agencies and programs, the authors provide unique insights into the broader context of counterterrorism efforts and developments in the last 10-plus years since 9/11 and they raise future considerations given recent landscape-altering global events.The authors were interviewed by National Defense Magazine in a January 23, 2012 article entitled Counterterrorism 101: Navigating the Bureaucratic Maze. They were interviewed on April 30, 2012 by Federal News Radio. Michael Kraft was also interviewed on June 27, 2014 by Federal News Radio.

This is an essential handbook not only for those interested in U.S. counterterrorism programs but also those involved in the war on terror. The authors, themselves long time participants in the interagency and congressional processes associated with national security, provide valuable insights into how these programs are conceived, developed and implemented and, very often, how bureaucracy and interagency rivalry and competition impede their effectiveness.Particularly instructive for those not involved in the process, is the proliferation and diversity of actors in the field, all with their own parochial agendas and unique perspectives. In the words of the authors: "The federal government intelligence community is composed of some twnety two separate agencies, freestanding in the case of the CIA but otherwise embedded in various agencies." And that's just the intelligence community.Given the importance of the topic and the unanimity among USG actors regarding ultimate objectives, understanding the difficulty of coordinating efforts in this field is extremely instructive regarding USG policy making in general. As such, beyond counterterrorism, I believe this would be an excellent text for students of public administration and American Government in general, as well as sudents and government officials who want to understand the U.S. Government's countertrerrorism agencies and programs.
