The authors argue that these results, when coupled with the resentment such coercive tactics have engendered throughout the world, have left us less safe than we would be had we employed a more sensible and less controversial preventive strategy. The book concludes by proposing an alternative preventive strategy to guide us into the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlready standard reading for those who question the idea that \"war\" is the appropriate response to terrorism, \u003ci\u003eLess Safe, Less Free\u003c\/i\u003e offers an eloquent and original argument for a return to the rule of law.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Cole, Jules Lobel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1595584153\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781595584151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.98h x 5.32w x 0.94d","brand":"David Cole","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078472921343,"sku":"9781595584151","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8edd9596-a0a0-4088-bf3d-d90540661070.jpg?v=1685475716","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/less-safe-less-free-david-cole-9781595584151","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
