America's Battle Against Terrorism (Current Controversies)
Editorial Reviews
Review
School Library Journal : "This anthology includes essays that initially appeared in periodicals, newspapers, books, government documents, and public and private organizational publications...A balanced presentation for highly controversial views, the selections differ in style and polish; some are carefully reasoned, and others are emotionally charged. Three major sections explore the dimensions of the problem, its causes, and possible remedies. Pulling no punches, this title covers its subjects well. Useful for research, for reports, and for debates."
-- School Library Journal (November 2001)
Library Media Connection : "I have almost every series Greenhaven Press has published and love them all..These titles will be a gret resource for current events, history, and speech classes and debate teams. Highly Recommended."
--Library Media Connection (August/September 2004)
Booklist : "This wide-ranging entry in the Current Controversies series gives readers information for reports as well as for making personal choices. The writing is more intellectual than impassioned, and supporting evidence usually comes from respected sources that young readers will likely recognize and trust. Rich materials for many curricular disciplines."
-- Booklist (May 2002)
Book Description
The war against terrorism has been at the forefront of U. S. foreign policy. Many people believe the United States should be more aggressive in combating terror. Others characterize the goal of eliminating terror as an impossibility. This volume explores the effectiveness of the tactics the United States uses against terrorists, the effect battling terrorism has on civil liberties in America, the impact of the war in Iraq, and whether the United States is prepared for another terrorist attack.
