Publisher's Synopsis
The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, were an event that for most Americans will be remembered for a lifetime as a pivotal moment in history. As in the case of the Kennedy assassination a generation before, on November 22, 1963, Americans share a collective memory and trauma of the event, often asking each other and reminiscing about what one was doing during that fateful moment. Now, with several years having passed since 9/11, this series reflects on that event by bringing together from a broad spectrum of disciplines the leading thinkers of our time.
