This interdisciplinary study of how 9/11 and the 'war on terror'
were represented during the Bush era, shows how culture often
functioned as a vital resource, for citizens attempting to make
sense of momentous historical events that frequently seemed beyond
their influence or control. Illustrated throughout, the book
discusses representation of 9/11 and the war on terror in Hollywood
film, the 9/11 novel, mass media, visual art and photography,
political discourse, and revisionist historical accounts of
American 'empire,' between the September 11 attacks and the
Congressional midterm elections in 2006. As well as prompting an
international security crisis, and a crisis in international
governance and law, David Holloway suggests the culture of the time
also points to a 'crisis' unfolding in the institutions and
processes of republican democracy in the United States. His book
offers a cultural and ideological history of the period, showing
how culture was used by contemporaries to debate, legitimise,
qualify, contest, or repress discussion, about the causes,
consequences and broader meanings of 9/11 and the war on terror.
