Obama, "Homeland Insecurity" Garner Kudos

Everyone loves a winner in politics and books.

Americans on both sides of the nation are throwing kudos at the President-Elect for whom they voted to be the new Chief Executive, the man who promised change from the way things were done in Washington. Book critics on both sides of the nation are throwing kudos, too, at the new book Homeland Insecurity, the book that calls for change from the way things were done in Washington.

Just as American voters, coast- to- coast, cast votes for Barack Obama, book critics on both coasts were casting votes for Homeland Insecurity by former FBI officials Terry D. Turchie and Dr. Kathleen Puckett.

Publishers Weekly in New York, a state that went overwhelmingly for Obama, wrote that Homeland Insecurity was “... the study of “the exercise of unfettered political power…” Across the Hudson River in New Jersey, another state that voted heavily for Barack Obama, Bookviews.com said, Homeland Insecurity is “a compelling and devastating look at the attacks by power-hungry members of Congress…”

On the other side of the nation in Oregon,  a state that voted heavily for the President-Elect,  Midwest Book Review, in its just released review, wrote  Homeland Insecurity is  “a highly recommended piece of writing, a must read for those who are trying to figure out what's wrong with today's Washington.”

And somewhere above the national expanse in cyberspace, Simon Barrett of Blogger News Network wrote enthusiastically upon the book’s publication “This is a book that deserves a spot on the NYT bestseller list.”

Homeland Insecurity: How Washington Politicians Have Made America Less Safe is a study by two former FBI Officials, Terry D. Turchie and Dr. Kathleen Puckett who used their investigatory skills to profile twelve politicians who succumbed to the overwhelming drive of power addiction to protect their power platform at the expense of national security resulting in the gradual, and largely unnoticed, infringement of American civil liberties.

Mr. Turchie was the Unit Director who led the final pursuit and capture of Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber and an Assistant Deputy Director of the FBI. Dr. Puckett, a clinical psychologist, was a Special Agent for 23 years and a founder of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Program. They also co-authored the award-winning Hunting the American Terrorist, the account of the final pursuit and capture of  Ted Kaczynski.

Homeland Insecurity, 9781933909332, History Publishing Company, Sept. 2008, is available at Barnes and Noble Booksellers nationally and other fine bookstores.
