I read this book before I read Secrets and Lies (I have
that one still on my bookshelf to read). Therefore I can't really compare
it to the first or say if it's a continuation of it or not. What I can say
is that this book provides a good understanding of some of the security
measures that have been put in place after the September 11 attacks in the
US and how many of them fall short from providing any better security. It
refers a lot to historical events and techniques that have been in place
for many years. He tries to explain how certain measures fail and at the
same time provides insight on how to take steps to improve them. He also
explains that not always technology is the best approach to security and
how human interaction is still required. I would recommend this book for
people that firmly believe that security measures put in place by our
governments are always for the good of the people and are not in some ways
trying to cut down our freedom. This book will certainly open their eyes
and make them think twice about accepting every measure. This is not a
technical book and is very easy to understand. |
