  Synopsis Details Reviews  
This new series aims to address the questions and concerns of two of the most important events of modern life--the tragedy of 9/11 and the "shock and awe" of the second Gulf War. Each volume analyzes key aspects of political, cultural, and economic issues in the Iraq conflict through the essays of foreign policy experts, theorists, and first hand witnesses. Nine original essays help your students better understand the events of 9/11 and why the United States went to war in Iraq two years later. Questions addressed include how did the tragic events of 9/11 alter our sense of being in control? How has our culture and concept of citizenship changed? How wise are some of these changes? How does the United States' dependency on foreign oil affect our foreign policy in the Middle East?
