Reviews

"A crucial addition to secondary school libraries and government studies classes, the series uses recent and historical events to engage the young reader. While it is predictable that the Constitution is featured along with the three branches of government, it is rare to find a separate title devoted to U.S. security agencies . . ."

Library Media Connection, May/June 2013

". . . well researched and informative."

The Horn Book Guide, Spring 2013

"Well written and documented, the author has put together a very interesting history of the major federal organizations responsible for the security of this nation."
