In the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, the UK government launched a 'war on terror'. This led to a dramatic increase in the powers of the police and security services, and a shift in focus from community policing to counter-terrorism. But has this made us safer?

In Chasing Ghosts, investigative journalist David Rose argues that the war on terror has been a disaster. He exposes the failures of the police and security services, and shows how their obsession with terrorism has led to the erosion of our civil liberties.

Rose's book is based on extensive research and interviews with key figures in the policing of terrorism. He reveals how the police have been repeatedly outmaneuvered by terrorist groups, and how their focus on counter-terrorism has led to the neglect of other areas of policing.

Chasing Ghosts is a timely and important book. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the policing of terrorism in the UK, and the impact it has had on our society.
