Release of the Security Review Conducted After the Failed Christmas Terrorist Attack
The review of our security and intelligence systems following the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day has been completed. The President spoke two days ago about "the urgency of getting this right," and the identification of failures in this review, along with the immediate ordering of reforms and corrective steps both today and in the days since this incident, are a recognition of that urgency. This review is also a recognition that while there is no place for partisanship and the old Washington blame game in dealing with Al Qaeda and the threat they represent, keeping American safe depends on honest and direct accountability.

This is a a great book and I have read it multiple times. Excellent reference material for those involved in emergency management, safety and critical infrastructure planning, protection and assessments.
Read the only book on the Beslan School attack that provides insights into
the Russian government and Special Forces in their planning and ultimate
rescue operation. No other author had access to these sources, and the
information provided by them got THE AUTHOR BANNED FROM RUSSIA!
The complete and accurate story of the Beslan School Siege that occurred in
Russia on September 1, 2004.
A book about the victims, the soldiers who were there, the history of the
events leading up to the tragic incident, and the lessons America can learn
to protect itself from terrorism. But it is more than just a story. Terror
at Beslan highlights the lessons of America's school system can learn from
the tragedy to protect itself from terrorism.
