An exceptional book. Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System is an honest-to-goodness factual book written by my good friend Tony Davis. I think that his writing style not only keeps you aware of what can happen and has happened, but what can be done to reduce the risk from his actual hands-on experience and background. Tony’s factual accounts of what are encountered in our cargo and the security as a whole makes this a valuable book.
He reiterates some great reminders, what could have been done and experiences with what he lived and worked with from 9-11 forward. I highly recommend this book for pleasure or for a reference book.

Wow! This is a riveting and education piece!
I have to admit that I wasn’t sure how much I would enjoy Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System, but I am so glad I read it! Anthony Davis obviously has the background to put together such an awesome piece on a topic that, to my knowledge, hasn’t been full covered before.
I learned so much about the military, how terrorism can and will affect us, security, and even the ships themselves! I’ve learned more in this one book than I’ve ever learned from reading any other reference piece before.
After reading Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System, I have a new found respect for those in the field and I’m thankful that Mr. Davis has put this book together to educate the public without making the content dull or boring. I found it difficult to put this book down as I wanted to keep learning more through every turn of the page.

My wife suggested I read this book. I am glad I did. So much goes into understanding how our country is protected and needs to be protected.
The author is very knowledgeable as he was a former maritime investigator and a prior maritime intelligence officer. I trust what he says in his book.
This book helped me understand exactly what we are up against when it comes to criminals and terrorists.
I highly recommend this book to people so they can understand what is all involved in protecting our country.

They say that forewarned is forearmed, and if that’s the case, then Anthony Davis’ book is a fantastic weapon in the continuing goal to protect ourselves. He tackles so many things I never would have even begun to consider. It was hard for me to stop reading this book.

Terrorism and the Maritime Transportation System by Anthony M. Davis (USCG Ret.) gives some good basic insight to the lay reader as to the extensive responsibilities of the USCG, and the astronomical job they have of protecting the coast lines, and various water ways that are incumbent upon safety and economic trade within this country.
Mr. Davis basically gives the reader a “thumb-nail’ sketch of various scenarios regarding possible terrorist/ criminal attacks on various vessels and the entire maritime infrastructure. Many of these scenarios are built upon certain historical catastrophes and events that helped to lay the present foundations for possible future responses to assaults on the maritime system.
The book reads more like a specialized text for a USGC or, Law enforcement related seminar rather than the general public. Much of the information within this book is of a very basic nature. I’m sure the author did not want to give out “too much specialized information” on this topic for obvious reasons, especially after 911.
However, Mr. Davis gives enough information for the reader to at least, appreciate the overall complexity of this particular industry and its massive problems looming in the dark holds of these potential floating steel bombs.
His writing technique is more class-room orientated than I would have liked, but the subject matter and potential repercussions of terrorism in the maritime transportation system is enough to… leave the reader sitting in a cold sweat.
Despite the author’s Federal Bureaucratic make up ( I too was one), and writing style… he has none the less, exposed our real “Achilles heel.” If something is not done to help protect this vital area then, we are flirting with an ultimate disaster that may just totally whitewash the 911 attacks by comparison!
