Recent Trends in National Security Law, 2015 ed.: Leading Lawyers on Balancing US National Security Concerns and the Rights of Citizens (Inside the Minds)

National security concerns have arisen in surprising places, and today's national security climate involves a unique and dangerous situation for not only the federal government, but private entities as well. Recent Trends in National Security Law provides in-depth analysis of the serious national security threats that jeopardize our nation's future, the volatile intersection of political crime and national security, and a discussion of the Government's role in cyber threat "vulnerability mitigation"-i.e., strengthening our cyber defenses to reduce the nation's vulnerability to cyber attack and cyber espionage.

The CIA, FBI, NSA, and DHS, among others, have long served the nation as commonly known components of the national security apparatus. The authors in Recent Trends in National Security Law discuss these components, as well as the broader Intelligence Community that leverage numerous threat assessment and deterrence tools in the defense of national security while also seeking to maintain the delicate balance between protecting our national security interests with an individual's and a society's constitutional rights and liberties.
