- Offers a useful and up-to-date compendium for courses for public health students and health workers
- Presents a more balanced approach to public health preparedness, placing more emphasis on urgent public health problems
- Provides a valuable resource for public health workers and their agencies and organizations
The first edition of this book was published almost a decade ago to provide a comprehensive examination of the relationship between terrorism and public health. It also described what health professionals could do to mitigate the consequences of terrorist attacks and threats, and to address the underlying causes of terrorism.
This completely revised second edition provides new information on emergency preparedness and response planning as well as lessons learned from responses to terrorist attacks in the United States and other countries. Expert scholars and practitioners of public health explore the
historical roots of terrorism and address potential terrorist weapons and their control. They also explore in detail the adverse health consequences of the "war on terror," including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, other violations of human rights and civil liberties, diversion of resources, and the adverse impact on civil society organizations.
Arguing for a more balanced approach to preparedness, the editors and contributors to this second edition describe challenges and opportunities for strengthening the public health system, protecting disaster rescue and recovery workers, and promoting domestic and international law related to terrorism.Readership: Public health students and workers;
professionals and students in law, public policy, international relations, and journalism

"While it does not make light of a serious topic, it does present the material in a well-structured and easily digestible manner. It also provides some key questions for debate, as the contributors do not shy away from criticising responses from governments and organisations involved in the response to terror." - Nursing Times
