Homeland Siege: Tactics for Police and Military
Homeland Siege Tactics for Police and Military Author:H. John Poole "Homeland Siege" may contain the most extensive study of hostage rescue ever attempted. With kidnappings on the rise in Phoenix and many overseas locations, U.S. police and military should both be interested.

The book first looks into which Hispanic and Asian elements are now controlling the wholesale distribution of drugs in America. Then, it provides chapters on drug route mapping, hostage rescue, and collateral-damage-free security. The lessons of "Homeland Siege" should make U.S. streets safer to walk and Afghan villages easier to pacify. Part One discusses the possibility of a foreign power's indirect assault on the American homeland. The most flagrant evidence of such an assault has been cyber, but it may well entail a massive crime wave. Such things are always possible in 4th-Generation Warfare (4GW)--that which is fought in the political, economic, psychological, and martial arenas simultaneously. If such an attack were in progress, U.S. leaders would be hesitant to commit enough of their Armed Forces to meet what appeared to be a law enforcement challenge. Part Two discusses the extent to which U.S. military and police missions have merged over the years. Then, Part Three offers chapters on smuggling-route identification, civilian-saving building assault, and neighbor-sparing outpost defense. Those chapters will help U.S. police to handle the drug threat at home, and U.S. military personnel to defeat the drug-funded Taliban in Afghanistan.« less
