Answering Terror: Responses to War and Peace After 9/11/01Sharon Hoover Friends Publishing Corporation, 2006 - 223 pagina's The 9/11/01 terrorist attacks prompted both an outpouring of feeling and repercussions that are still being felt around the world.

This anthology chronicles that discussion, challenging the reader to examine his or her own ideals of justice and responsibility in a world where violence is a brutal fact, and nonviolence is territory still being charted. |
