The Age Of Terror - America And The World After September 11 (Paperback, New Ed)

Here, an agenda-setting team of experts looks at how terrorism can be understood, contained, and ultimately defeated. September 11 marked the beginning of a new era - an age of terror in which counter-terrorism will be one of the highest priorities of national governments and international institutions. How we proceed in this new war largely depends on the answer to a prior question: what exactly happened here and why? In The Age of Terror, eight historians and policymakers address this question and examine the considerations and objectives of policy decisions in post-September 11 America.
