But no one has fully probed its cultural roots. Until now. Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Susan Faludi brilliantly demonstrates how our culture's seemingly inexplicable response was actually a reflex set centuries deep in the American grain. Her analysis of what went on in the months and years after 9\/11 will shock even those who thought they knew the full measure of that tragedy (as her account of the post-9\/11 media marketing of flight-suit superheroes, cowering \"security moms,\" Jessica-Lynchesque helpless \"girls,\" and Daniel Boone-wannabe politicians will outrage and amuse).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA masterwork of historical interpretation and a Rosetta stone for deciphering the ongoing spectacle of American politics, journalism, and culture, \u003ci\u003eThe Terror Dream \u003c\/i\u003eflushes from hiding a forceful dynamic that disfigures our lives even in times of normalcy, and that, unless it is confronted, will send us reeling in a wrong direction the next time tragedy strikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/02\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780312428006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/21\/2008 pg. 26\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Susan Faludi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36635883176092,"sku":"9780312428006","price":28.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_ff54d465-36ea-4ae8-82b1-f036cde8690b.jpg?v=1603840789","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-terror-dream-9780312428006","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
