"A valuable examination of U.S. national security crises past and present. . . A timely, pertinent study emphasizing the fact that when it comes to military or terrorist attacks, 'there are always be warnings.'" —Kirkus "Ample warnings preceded Pearl Harbor and every subsequent attack on U.S. soil and U.S. forces, writes Hancock, a veteran national security journalist. . . He is not shy about suggesting improvements, but admits that since American leaders may never get their act together, more surprises are likely in store." —Publishers Weekly "In clear and detailed writing, the author focuses on the widespread American command and control networks that examine strategic/national and tactical/local intelligence. . . An important topic for everyone to comprehend, as the threat of a new attack is constant, both from home–grown extremists as well as foreign groups." —Library Journal Starred Review
