Balancing the Risks, Benefits, and Costs of Homeland Security
In seeking to evaluate the efficacy of post-9/11 homeland security expenses the common query has been, "e;Are we safer?"e; This, however, is the wrong question. The correct question is, "e;Are any gains in security worth the funds expended?"e; In this engaging, readable book, John Mueller and Mark Stewart apply risk and cost-benefit evaluation techniques to answer this very question. Cataloging the mistakes that the US has made--and continues to make--in managing homeland security programs, Terror, Security, and Money has the potential to redirect our efforts toward a more productive and far more cost-effective course.
