A note for parents
This is a serious nonfiction analysis of constitutional law and government policy, not a children's book. It examines how civil liberties have been compromised in response to security threats, with substantial discussion of post-9/11 policies and their consequences. The content is intellectually challenging and addresses mature political concepts including detention and surveillance, making it suitable for high school students and older readers interested in civics and law. There is no graphic content, but the subject matter involves discussion of government abuses and fear-driven policy decisions.

Tracing the history of government intrusions on Constitutional rights in response to threats from abroad, Cole and Dempsey warn that a society in which civil liberties are sacrificed in the name of national security is in fact less secure than one in which they are upheld. A new chapter includes a discussion of domestic spying, preventive detention, the many court challenges to post-9/11 abuses, implementation of the PATRIOT ACT, and efforts to reestablish the checks and balances left behind in the rush to strengthen governmental powers.
