The USA Patriot Act is one of the most controversial and possibly one of the most misunderstood laws Congress has ever enacted. For many Americans, it is synonymous with an egregious and unjustifiable suspension of the Bill of Rights. This book explains the Act's most important provisions and reviews the best information currently available to gauge their usefulness and their effects in practice.
