Book excerpt: Homeland security is perhaps the least understood of the important issues in American politics today. Created in response to system-wide coordination problems, it's unclear whether this new bureaucracy has made enough--and the right--changes to repel future terrorist attacks. Kettl shows how 9/11 stressed the political system and reveals what policymakers are doing well--and what the government is still struggling to solve.
