What they do
He is the main academic who studied how a hidden, parallel power structure operates alongside the visible government.
How it works
His 2007 book The Road to 9/11 traced how emergency 'Continuity of Government' planning quietly grew from a backup plan into an ongoing power structure running in parallel to normal government.
Why it matters
