Technically didn’t read the whole thing, but given how much time I spent reading this, it is going towards my yearly reading!!!

[Danny Sitko · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very easy read, but would not recommend reading this book on a plane while checking one’s watch. All of the plots were pretty engaging, but the last Rosen story was very confusing, I will be writing further about that one with suggestions on how to improve. Overall a very captivating book, though part of that may be because the index showed a reference to 9/11 on every page.

Using as a text book in my Military Law and National Security Issues

Another good text. Good analysis and questions, good explanations and back story. It's shocking just how much 9/11 has changed and shaped Nat'l Security law.
