Gary Hart has long been one of the nation's foremost
experts on national security, combining a deep knowledge of
national security policy with first-hand experience of the
political realities that influence how America safeguards
itself and its interests. In his new book, Hart outlines,
in clear, simple prose, the fundamental changes with
which America must grapple when confronting a terrorist
threat that has no state and no geographic homebase and thus
offers no genuine target for the world's largest and most
sophisticated military force. Hart argues for a security of
the commons, emphasizing that the new security will
require a shield for the homeland as well as a cloak of
non-military security, including security of income,
community, environment, and energy.
