Taking Liberties - The War on Terror and the Erosion of American Democracy

Describes the social and human cost of the security measures taken by the United States during the past decade.

Summary

In Taking Liberties, Susan Herman spells out in vivid detail why all Americans should be worried about the governmental dragnet that has slowly and at times imperceptibly expanded its coverage over the American public. This book is a wake-up call for all Americans, who remain largely unaware of the post-9/11 surveillance regime's insidious and continuing growth.
