by Paul A. Ibbetson $17.99, 328 pages, soft cover The Patriot Act has been one of the most highly debated and confrontational laws in the country resulting from the horrendous acts of terrorism on September 11, 2001. While there have been many articles and news stories regarding the Patriot Act, the public have remained uneducated about this powerful law. How can it be that one of the most powerful laws today is so confusing to understand? The problem is twofold. First, news coverage tends to focus on only a small part of the law. Second, the Patriot Act, by its nature, is extremely complex and tends to be misleading and ambiguous. Does this sound scary right off the bat? Fear not! Living Under the Patriot Act: Educating a Society, is a learner friendly book. This book will arm both laymen and academics with the most up-to-date knowledge of the Patriot Act, while avoiding unnecessary terminology that often complicates the learning process. |
