Karsten Rudolph: Der deutsche Rechtsstaat nach dem 11. September.
Eine kritische Bilanz, ISBN-13: 978-3-8433-4011-3

(…) The book begins with a thorough discussion about the new terrorist threat, starting with Al Qaeda to the "homemade” jihadists. The conflicts arising later with their rivals about the structure of the federal, national and European security shows the complexity of the debate. Subsequently, the critical discussions about the risks and side effects of terrorism provides a successful analysis of the dangers of the State’s prevention. (…) Rudolph rightly emphasizes the negative consequences of counter terrorism for our Rule of Law, because in a state of emergency, the principle of equality or the principle of proportionality in government intervention in relation to our right to freedom is still a question mark (…) Congratulations for the right words, which call for attention to the Rule of Law which could turn into dictatorship (…)

The statement that those who want security must give up their freedom has become the engine of the revolt against freedom. But the assertion is false. This is Rudolph’s final conclusion in this book which is worth reading.
