Securing The City

Inside America's Best Counterterror Force-The NYPD

By Christopher Dickey

This is an interesting history of the years leading up to 9-11, and the years after it, published in 2009.

There is also some historical background from years before that. The author also writes about related events in the Middle East and elsewhere. I read this while waiting for a copy of Our Man in Charleston: Britain's Secret Agent in the Civil War South to come in at the library here.
