Just yesterday, New York City was the target of a failed terrorist plot. It’s a jarring reminder that terrorists are still out there, thinking about how to do Americans harm.
For inquiring minds who want information from an authoritative voice on terrorism, take a look at The Shadowland Journal. The blog includes postings and writings of Christopher Dickey, a veteran journalist who has authored six books, notably his most recent work, “Securing the City: Inside America’s Best Counterterrorism Force-The NYPD”.
In light of May 20’s arrest of would-be terrorists in New York (through an FBI and NYPD sting operation), Dickey’s book is especially timely. It describes, in great detail and through painstaking research, how the NYPD is one of the world’s best weapons in the fight against terrorism.
Dickey is also Paris bureau chief of Newsweek magazine. His perspective is a valuable one in understanding how the war on terror is being fought right here in New York City.
