Perspectives on 9/11

Book Description
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, are difficult to refer to in the past tense. The events of that date changed the United States and the entire world to the point that the pre-9/11 period and post-9/11 epoch now have to be understood by completely different parameters. Its editors conceived this book only a few hours after the World Trade Towers had collapsed. It frames 9/11 in terms of fresh insights and new interpretations that will last beyond its immediate timeframe.

Seeking to explain perceptions in the period between September 11, 2001 and the onset of the war in Iraq, El-Ayouty (Benjamin N. Cordozo School of Law and St. Francis College) and his cohorts gathered articles from rescuers, legal experts, professors, diplomats, and government officials, many of whom were witnesses to the day's events in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania. They explain what happened to them, how the nature of their professions, their culture, and their spirituality changed, and what they believe should be done to prevent more violence.
