SUMMARY  |  EXCERPT   |  CONTRIBUTORS   |  QUOTES

"The book focuses tightly on the event of 9/11, and features comments from a veritable 'who's who' of seasoned analysts from government, academia and journalism. The result is a thorough, accessible and highly balanced primer, which should raise the quality of the ongoing debate."
Globebooks.com

"Contains the best single discussion of what America should do in the world now that the events of September 11 have shown us what we did wrong between the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the WTC twin towers."
U.S. News & World Report

"An authoritative but accessible account of the issues that led to this present crisis."
Book Page

"The most wide-ranging… The essays included everything from the economic impact of the attacks to the troubled recent history of Afghanistan.
Foreign Affairs

"A good first attempt to find answers to this complex question, although much more remains… The editors should be congratulated for putting together such and excellent array of insightful essays, so soon after the great cataclysm. Excellent reading for college students, particularly those in political science and related disciplines, and all intelligent people who seek deeper answers beyond superficial television coverage. Recommended at all levels."
