"Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System" is Noted in an Online Homeland Security News Resource

Charlottesville, VA, October 11, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The online resource, "In Homeland Security" (www.inhomelandsecurity.com) recently featured Anthony M. Davis' new book, "Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System." The article written by Shelley Smith entitled, "Coast Guard is Essential to Meet the Challenges and Threats to U.S. Maritime Security" describes a variety of issues faced by the Coast Guard in the war against terrorism.

In her article, Smith notes the Coast Guard has broad responsibilities for safeguarding the U.S. maritime domain amidst multi-mission roles, including maritime safety and mobility, national defense, law enforcement, environmental protection, and humanitarian response.

Ms. Smith, an expert in analysis and research on national and international issues, homeland security, terrorism and counterterrorism, law enforcement, criminal justice systems, continued by focusing upon the Coast Guard's battle against transnational crime and cites the book, "Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System."

In Homeland Security is sponsored by American Military University with an intended audience of both expert-level policymakers as well as the more broad and general audience of people interested in homeland security.
