Rezensionen

"This book presents a comprehensive examination of the federal perspective, process, and practice of consequence management. It is a necessary book for first responders at every level and an essential desk reference for their commanders, managers, and planners." - Dr. James M. Smith, Director, Air Force Institute for National Security Studies, USA

"This is a very thoughtful set of essays that provides a comprehensive understanding of a complex and challenging landscape and advances our collective capacity to think clearly and act effectively. It will be an invaluable resource to a diverse community at all levels of government working to formulate and execute sound policy. It will also fill an important gap in the professional military education classroom." - Paul Bernstein, Senior Research Fellow, National Defense University, USA
