In this book, Philip Heymann argues that the United States and other democracies can fight terrorism while preserving liberty and maintaining a healthy, unified society. Drawing on his experience in the U.S. Departments of State and Justice, he shows how domestic and foreign intelligence-gathering can thwart terrorism, how the United States must cooperate and share information with its allies, and how terrorism can be prevented in many cases.
Terrorism will never disappear completely, but the policies Heymann offers can limit the harm to Americans and protect the integrity of U.S. governmental processes.

"The Federal Bureau of Investigation reports that in the decade after 1985 there were only two terrorist incidents on U.S. soil with substantial foreign involvement (i.e., "international terrorism"): the bombing of the World Trade Center in February 1993, and an all-but-ignored occupation of the Iranian Mission to the United Nations by five opponents of the regime in 1992."
