Terrorism & 9/11 History
As long as the United States has existed, it has suffered acts of domestic and international terrorism against it. Here we have assembled publications that explore the causes and history of terrorism involving the United States of America, including the greatest act of terrorism to date on American soil on September 11, 2001.
September 11: A Decade of Remembrance
In 2011 as our Nation quietly passed the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the events of that terrible day were still vivid in the minds of those old enough to remember them. In the aftermath of 9/11, many agencies of the Federal Government recorded the tragedy and heroism on display in New York City, Washington, DC, and the skies above Shanksville, Pennsylvania, as well as the actions taken to prevent such acts of terrorism from succeeding in the future. The following publications are an official record of the one of the saddest days in America’s history - and of its citizens’ determination to ensure that the victims of these terrorist acts did not die in vain.
