6th Edition
On the morning of September 11, 2001, Americans watched in horror as an unthinkable drama unfolded. Terrorist attacks had been successfully launched against the United States on American soil. The initial questions of who would execute such an attack and why were soon followed by other questions: How should we respond to the terrorists? Are there more attacks planned and what will be their nature? How do we protect ourselves against future attacks? In the weeks and months following September 11, Americans would focus on finding answers to all the difficult questions that were raised that morning.

Responding to Terrorism: Challenges for Democracy engages students in consideration of the issues surrounding the 9.11.01 attacks in a constructive context and promotes dialogue about future policy directions.
