THE EVENTS AND EFFECTS OF 9/11

On September 11, 2001, at 8:46am, the United States and the rest of the world went on post-9/11 time. But it would take another 17 minutes before we realized it.

9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed World History, is a short history of the September 11 attacks and the game-changing aftermath. It opens with a detailed account of the events from the viewpoint of the news networks and local and federal government agencies and leaders, before exploring the reasons behind the attacks on the Twin Towers and the response of the United States.

Unlike a regular overview, 9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed World History delves into the minds of the deciders, explaining their reasoning behind major decisions through quotes and background information. Why did the United States go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq after 9/11? What were/are the effects of the PATRIOT Act and what was the Bush administration's justification for allowing 'enhanced interrogation techniques', i.e. torture?

9/11: 102 Minutes That Changed World History is a short but well-sourced, engaging overview of the deadliest terrorist attacks in the history of the United States and the deep, lasting impact of the subsequent response of the Bush administration, with much of its effects still present, including the increased surveillance by the FBI and NSA and the rise of ISIS in the Middle East.
