"This book provides an array of answers to the question, In the ten
years since the 9/11 attacks, how has America responded? In a
series of essays, RAND authors lend a farsighted perspective to the
national dialogue on 9/11's legacy; assess the military, political,
fiscal, social, cultural, psychological, and moral implications of
U.S. policymaking since 9/11; and, suggest options for effectively
dealing with the terrorist threat in the future. In a series of
essays, this book addresses the question of how America has
responded in the ten years since the 9/11 terrorist attacks and
suggests options for more effectively dealing with the terrorist
threat in the future. The attacks on 9/11 set in motion a great
array of changes in America. These essays capture this upheaval,
but better still they do something RAND is so well positioned to
do: They provide expert assessments of where our responses are
strong, where they have fallen short, and how we need to change yet
more". (Honorable Richard J. Danzig, former U.S. Secretary of the
Navy and chairman of the Center for a New American Security). "This
book helpfully outlines the central reality that America is engaged
in what has already been, and promises to continue being, a long
war. It emphasizes that despite the killing of Osama Bin Laden and
the advent of the, OEArab Spring America will continue to need an
effective counterterrorist strategy. The papers also provide a good
outline of the progress America has made in a number of vital
areas, particularly intelligence and military capabilities, in the
past decade". (Ambassador L. Paul Bremer III, chairman of the
National Commission on Terrorism and head of the Coalition
Provisional Authority in Iraq in 2003 and 2004). "This book will
make a significant contribution to our understanding of the past
ten years and inform decisions about where we should go from here.
It's a much-needed call to mark this anniversary by reassessing
those things we now accept as common wisdom. The perspectives and
insights in these essays are inadequately reflected in the current
discussion and debate". (Suzanne E. Spaulding, executive director
of both the National Commission on Terrorism and the Commission to
Assess the Organization of the Federal Government to Combat the
Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction).
