History 177A: Re-thinking 9-11 and its Aftermath
On the 20th Anniversary of the attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, and the inception of the “war on terrorism,” we can consider these dramatic events with the advantage of hindsight. In this class, we will analyze the attack itself, the impact on New York City, and the important decisions made by the Bush Administration. How did a “terrorist attack” become a reason for unending war? The class will see films, consult oral histories and memoirs, and read major secondary works on these events.
