Managing the Nation''s Borders During the Global War Against Terrorists presents three viewpoints on the problem of securing U.S. borders: the U.S. government''s self-assessment, the often critical judgment of independent agencies like the Government Accountability Office ("GAO") and the Congressional Research Service ("CRS"), and General Editor Douglas C. Lovelace''s own critique both of the governmental pronouncements and of those GAO/CRS reports.
