America's Security Agencies
Tom Streissguth's book opens with a look into the events following 9/11 that led to the creation of the Department of Homeland Security in 2002, one of the four organizations discussed in this book. What follows is a thorough examination of this new and important agency, its creation, history, structure, inner workings, and importance.

Federal Government series. This series provides insight into operations of the three major branches of U.S. government plus other lesser-known agencies. The texts, though dry, are well researched and informative. While the photographs add interest, some are fuzzy or otherwise of poor quality. Reproductions of screen shots are too small for easy reading, but web addresses will be useful for those who want additional information. Websites. Bib., glos., ind., The Horn Book Guide Fall 2008
