Book Description:
As part of his response to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C., President George W. Bush announced that he was creating an Office of Homeland Security. This new book reviews past experience-principally with the Office of War Mobilization and its successor, the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion and its possible significance for OHS, as well as the administrative development of the new agency. Headed by former Governor Tom Ridge, this office is a work in progress, but, as this book will show, the OHS is trying to bring direction and coherence to federal homeland-security related activities until a full fledged department is approved by Congress. |
