The volume also compares and contrasts the UK's response with cognate states elsewhere in the EU and with the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhile improved intelligence has helped prevent a major Al Qaeda attack, the authors conclude that there is still a 'major question mark' over whether the country is adequately resourced to deal with an emergency situation, particularly in major cities other than London. The book also confirms that while the UK faces a 'real and serious' threat of terrorist attack by Al Qaeda, it is better prepared for an attack than other EU member states.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHomeland Security in the UK\u003c\/em\u003e will be essential reading for all students of terrorism studies, security studies and politics, as well as by professional practitioners and well-informed general readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Wilkinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415383757\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415383752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/14\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.36w x 0.95d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2007 pg. 294","brand":"Paul Wilkinson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448818053375,"sku":"9780415383752","price":42.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2e1a557b-5b0f-4988-9d87-fe13ef3a934b.jpg?v=1777260725","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/homeland-security-in-the-uk-paul-wilkinson-9780415383752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
