520			_aBowman's central thesis is that terrorism is not merely a criminal issue but a significant national security threat that requires a comprehensive and proactive response. He argues that the United States' reliance on outdated Cold War-era strategies and its underestimation of the capabilities of modern terrorists have left the nation vulnerable. The book emphasizes the need for a paradigm shift in how terrorism is perceived and addressed, advocating for a more integrated approach that involves intelligence, law enforcement, and public awareness. While some critics have noted the lack of specific references and the speculative nature of certain assertions, the book's foresight and the urgency of its message have been widely acknowledged. It serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of complacency and the importance of vigilance in safeguarding national security.
