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\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSusan Faludi \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eStiffed \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBacklash\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction.
