Following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, America's political
institutions underwent radical changes as they adapted to
comprehensive security reforms. While the media exhaustively
covered new security protocols in the executive office, little
attention was paid to other federal agencies and branches that
overhauled their systems to accommodate heightened security
requirements. As a congressional fellow living in Washington, D.C.,
Jocelyn Jones Evans was an eyewitness to the institutional culture
of Capitol Hill before and after the 9/11 terrorist attacks as well
as during the subsequent anthrax scare. In One Nation Under Siege:
Congress, Terrorism, and the Fate of American Democracy, Evans uses
her personal experiences as the foundation for a richly researched
analysis of how Congress changed as an institution and a national
symbol in the wake of 9/11. Evans reveals not only physical
transformations but also internal policy shifts that threaten
democracy by limiting citizens' access to their elected leaders.
The only comprehensive study of the effects of terrorism on the
nation's capital, One Nation Under Siege provides a detailed
investigation of how the nation's intricate political system
adapted in times of crisis. It covers an essential chapter in the
social and political history of the United States.
