Examines the 9/11 attacks from an interdisciplinary perspective, seeking to reach a better understanding of the attack itself, the motivations and backgrounds of the attackers, the failures in the U.S. intelligence community's defenses-and above all, the nature and scope of America's response, at home and abroad. We read studies of terrorism and counterterrorism, including moral and legal arguments about torture, detention, and targeted killings. We visit various sites in New York City and meet with people with direct experience of the attack and its aftermath, including representatives of both the police and the immigrant communities who have suffered profiling and mistrust from the suspicions aroused by the attack. Looking toward the future, we examine local, national, and international strategies to prevent such attacks and to halt the radicalization that brings fresh recruits to terrorist movements.
