From the Author
Little has been said or done in the United States to identify and set up protective measures for our critical infrastructure. Our government's preparations seem restricted to discussions of the dangers from nuclear, biological, or government buildings as targets. The book reveals how a small group of dedicated, well financed terrorists can at will destroy enough of our natural gas flow and Mississippi River transport to all but cripple America's most populous areas.
