Failures of Imagination: The Deadliest Threats to Our Homeland--and How to Thwart Them
From the Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives Homeland Security Committee, a gripping look at the most dangerous and unexpected threats to our national security—and the actions needed to protect us.
America’s inability to foresee the September 11, 2001 attacks was deemed a collective “failure of imagination.” Our political leaders and intelligence professionals failed to anticipate the wide-ranging and unorthodox threats to the nation’s security.
Nearly a decade and a half later, imaginations in Washington D.C. are still failing.
Despite assurances from our leaders that America is safer today than it was before 9/11, the truth is, we are still vulnerable.
Congressman Michael McCaul has spent years in Washington watching the Obama administration ignore or dangerously underestimate the most pressing threats to the country.

Human trafficking destroys a person's dignity and strips away an individual's humanity. Human traffickers hold men, women, and children against their will and, through force, fraud or coercion, make them work — many times in the sex industry — for little or no income.
