In the aftermath of the terrorist attacks on September 11,
one question has been on the mind of every American: "How did this happen?"
PublicAffairs and Foreign Affairs have come together to
publish a book that seeks to answer this question in all its critical
aspects: the motives and actions of the terrorists, the status of our
military, the context of the Middle East, airport security, diplomatic
pressures. The book provides readers with an authoritative but accessible
account of the issues that led to the present crisis--not as a symposium of
opinion, but as a series of narratives on different aspects of the
situation, providing perspective, information, and sound interpretation.
How Did This Happen? brings together such noted experts as Fouad Ajami,
Karen Armstrong, Richard Butler, Samuel R. Berger, Wesley K. Clark, William
J. Perry, Alan Wolfe, and Fareed Zakaria to help make the events of that
terrible day more understandable, even as we steel ourselves for actions yet
to come.
