< BACK Terrorism, Freedom, and Security Winning Without War Philip B. Heymann Endorsements"Philip Heymann has shown again in Terrorism, Freedom, and Security why he is one of the leading thinkers in the world on the subject of terrorism. In this brief but extraordinary book, he has laid out the old and the new, the problems and the pitfalls, the challenges and the opportunities. He has given us a sober and broad set of responses, but clearly pointed out that there are no silver bullets. And most importantly, he has reminded us that we must not forfeit our democratic values in defense of our democracy."—Rand Beers, former Special Assistant to the President and Senior Director for Combating Terrorism, National Security Council, 2002-2003 "Terrorism, Freedom, and Security presents a powerful argument that not only explains why declaring a 'war' on terrorism was unwise but also presents a compelling case for relying on intelligence and law enforcement rather than military force and coercion. Phil Heymann is unequivocal in his defense of democratic values as the core of an effective American national policy for preventing terrorism. His book, grounded in knowledge of American policy as well as the experiences of other countries, is an essential foundation for the public debate we must have about the costs and benefits of alternative strategies for combating terrorism." —Martha Crenshaw, Colin and Nancy Campbell Professor of Global Issues and Democratic Thought, Wesleyan University "Professor Heymann's cool-headed and incisive analysis offers sane and sensible guidelines for coping with terrorism without losing the cherished principles of a democratic society. This book is must reading for decision makers and the general public alike." —Ariel Merari, Head of the Political Violence Research Unit, Tel Aviv University "This unusually pragmatic approach to combating terrorism comes from a leading, internationally recognized expert in and teacher of criminal law. I recommend it highly to those involved or interested in the fight against this scourge which so deeply affects our lives and freedom. Its clear style will appeal to lay and professional readers." —Richard Goldstone, Justice, Constitutional Court of South Africa, and Chairperson, International Bar Association International Task Force on Terrorism "Philip Heymann demonstrates that while states are improving their own mechanisms to control terrorism, adequate security in the future depends on a far broader range of measures requiring shared goals, popular support, international cooperation, and new global institutions." —Luis Moreno Ocampo, Chief Prosecutor, International Criminal Court |
