Team of Teams is on here. No Place to Hide is on here.

The Executive Leadership Program of the US Naval Postgraduate School’s Center for Homeland Defense and Security (the “Nation’s Homeland Security Educator”) is designed to help senior local, state, tribal, and federal officials build U.S. capacity to defeat terrorism.

The students in this prestigious program read a wide range of books (subject to change) in the course of their studies.

Now you can, too, although you aren’t likely to get congratulated by the cast of the television show NCIS like they were.

The program covers foundational aspects of homeland security and threats, the nature of threats, legal and cultural aspects of preventing and preparing for threats, collaborations necessary to effectively manage information sharing, threat recognition, protection measures, and plans in preparation for action. The books address a spectrum that includes left and right, practice and theory, philosophy and problem-solving.

It’s a veritable reading rainbow. But don’t take my word for it. See for yourself.
