HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?:Terrorism and the new War(恐怖组织活动与新一轮战争)

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. Contributors Include: Fouad Ajami Karen Armstrong Martin N. Baily Milton Bearden Samuel R. Berger Richard K. Betts Richard Butler Wesley K. Clark Michael Scott Doran Gregg Easterbrook Stephen E. Flynn Laurie Garrett F. Gregory Gause III Brian M. Jenkins Walter Laqueur Anatol Lieven Michael Mandelbaum Rajan Menon Joseph S. Nye, Jr. William J. Perry Mona Sutphen William F.
