Subject(s): Summary: Uses real life examples to demonstrate how terrorists could relatively cheaply and relatively easily cause serious disruption to elements of modern infrastructure that are critical to the continued success of the globalised economy. While high profile spectacular attacks are unlikely to be repeated, efforts aimed at using America's strengths against itself are more likely. To counter such threats the book suggests that security thinking needs to change by focusing on resilience and survivability.
