Sinopse

Terror Attacks offers a comprehensive exploration of how acts of terrorism have reshaped American society and national security. The book examines major terror attacks on U.S. soil, such as the Oklahoma City bombing and the September 11th attacks, scrutinizing the motivations behind them, the immediate responses, and the lasting impact on national security policies. It highlights the delicate balance between enhancing national security and preserving civil liberties, a debate central to U.S. Security Policy. For example, the book argues that while increased surveillance may deter some threats, it also raises concerns about governmental overreach.

 
The book progresses by first defining terrorism and outlining key historical attacks, then delving into the motivations of terrorist groups and comparing their ideologies. A thorough analysis of governmental responses follows, evaluating the successes and failures of specific policies. By using a combination of primary source documents, including government reports and personal accounts, alongside quantitative data, the book analyzes events and policies. This approach allows readers to understand the complexities of counterterrorism strategies and their long-term consequences, making Terror Attacks a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of terrorism and national security.

    Americans are more familiar with his signature than with the man himself. In this spirited account of John Hancock's life, Brooke Barbier depicts a patriot of fascinating contradictions—a child of enormous privilege who would nevertheless become a voice of the common folk; a pillar of society uncomfortable with radicalism who yet was crucial to independence. 
     
     
     
    Orphaned young, Hancock was raised by his merchant uncle, whose business and vast wealth he inherited—including household slaves, whom Hancock later freed. By his early thirties, he was one of New England's most prominent politicians, earning a place on Britain's most-wanted list and the derisive nickname King Hancock. While he eventually joined the revolution against England, his ever moderate—and moderating—disposition would prove an asset after 1776. Barbier shows Hancock appealing to southerners and northerners, Federalists and Anti-Federalists. He was a famously steadying force as president of the fractious Second Continental Congress. As governor of Massachusetts, Hancock convinced its delegates to vote for the federal Constitution and calmed the fallout from the shocking Shays's Rebellion. An insightful study of leadership in the revolutionary era, King Hancock traces a moment when passion was on the side of compromise and accommodation proved the basis of profound social and political change.

    The United States has become an almost unrecognizable country—with millions in thrall to conspiracy theories, toxic populism, and the far right edging closer to total power—a dire threat to civil society and democratic institutions. While the MAGA movement was in remission due to Donald Trump's defeat in 2020, the fascist fringes have not just survived but have continued to thrive and burrow into the mainstream. The January 6th Capitol Riot prosecutions have done little to curb their enthusiasm for mayhem. 
     
     
     
    Trump's base in the Republican Party is committed to their candidate like never before. The institutionalization of racist voter suppression and the outdated logic behind the Electoral College means he could take back the White House. Apocalyptic messaging ensures the alt-right, anti-government, anti-LGBT, and white nationalist groups see the next election as a life-or-death struggle and are uniting to back the one person they can all agree on—guaranteeing another chaotic election. 
     
     
     
    In this chilling exposé, Wendling encounters Capital rioters, Covid deniers, QAnon supporters, and Proud Boys and uncovers the roots of a movement that threatens to shatter the foundations of democracy.
