521 _a"Migration, borders, cybersecurity, natural disasters, and terrorism: Homeland security is constantly in the news. Despite ongoing attention, the problems seem to be getting bigger and the political discussion is misleading and overheated. Ben Rohrbaugh, a former border security director at the White House's National Security Council, cuts through the noise with an accessible and novel framework for understanding homeland security and the best ways to keep civilians safe. The U.S. government is only beginning to address national security domestically instead of internationally, and the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security is merely the first step in a strategic realignment that will be long, difficult, and riddled with missteps. More or Less Afraid of Nearly Everything is an accessible and engaging guide to homeland security, particularly issues surrounding migration and border security, making innovative arguments about safety at home in the twenty-first century and providing practical solutions to real-world problems"--
