Customer Reviews: The book remind me of "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" March 6, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful Dr. Wong spent five years writing this book. He was a one time police inspector in Hong Kong, managing legal aid lawyer in Michigan, and now a professor of law (Hong Kong) and policing (U.S.). The author has seen road side bombing and back room torturing as a riot platoon commander during a domestic insurgency in the colony in the 60s and have mounted class action law suits to defend the civil rights of the poor and oppressed in U.S. courts in the 80s. He has researched in Cambridge, taught for Harvard, mentored for Yale, published with Columbia and consulted with Canadian/Chinese/Hong Kong governments. One more thing: He is also a black belt karate instructor and was awarded the Hong Kong Police Commissioner's High Commendation! I know what you think, Prof. Wong reminds you of another scholar action hero most of us know: Professor Henry "Indiana" Jones, Jr., a BB; mixing brain with beef, with humor to match, in search of the Holy Grail (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). THIS IS AN EYE OPENNING BOOK. With this set of background, Prof. Wong is ready to challenge our conventional wisdom about what terrorist is and how to fight them. What he has to say in this lengthy (404 pages) and beefy book (lots of data) challenges us mentally (should we trade freedom for uncertain security), emotionally (after 9/11 the whole world morn our loss), and morally (does end ever justifies the mean). THIS IS A FAIR AND BALANCE BOOK. It is based on and driven by evidence. In writing this book Dr. Wong subscribes to four simple principles: "Everyone is entitled to his opinion but not everyone is entitled to his facts" "The facts speak of themselves" "Knowledge is power" "Knowledge set you free" THIS IS A HOPEFUL BOOK. The book renewed our faith in America - the Constitution and the people. It was the selfless local librarians (ALA) and pride filled grass-roots public (Bill of Rights Defense) who were to keep the FBI at bay and keep the USA PATRIOT ACT in check. Book Description: Much has been written about the USA Patriot Act, and the controversy that surrounds this far-reaching legislation has also generated a great deal of confusion and uncertainty about its impact and importance in the war on terrorism. As Professor Kam C. Wong notes in this important contribution to the literature: "There is little scholarly research on the legislation, implementation and impact of the Act." Undoubtedly, few Americans are actually aware of most of the details in the Act, or its implications in a free society. The events of September 11, 2001 in attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon prompted a unique response by Congress in passing a series of wide reaching laws, expanding the powers of law enforcement and the judiciary. Of particular concern to many are the requirements of public and private organizations to provide information in connection with homeland security that is considered intrusive and in violation of privacy rights. Ultimately, it will be many years before the actual impact of the Patriot Act can be assessed. In this new and important book, Professor Wong provides a critical analysis of the legislation and its capacity for abuse.
