The Age of American Unreason
By: Jacoby, Susan
Published by: Pantheon
Combining historical analysis with contemporary observation, Susan Jacoby dissects a new American cultural phenomenon--one that is at odds with our heritage of Enlightenment reason and with modern, secular knowledge and science.

Living Justice
By: Blank, Jessica; Jensen, Erik
Published by: ATRIA BOOKS
In 2000, Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen embarked on a tour across America -- one that would give them a glimpse of the darker side of the justice system and, at the same time, reveal to them just how resilient the human spirit can be. They were a pair of young actors from New York who wanted to learn more about our country's exonerated -- men and women who had been sentenced to die for crimes they didn't commit, who spent anywhere from two to twenty-two years on death row, and who were freed amidst overwhelming evidence of their innocence. The result of their journey was The Exonerated, New York Times number one play of 2002, which was embraced by such acting luminaries as Ossie Davis, Richard Dreyfuss, Danny Glover, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, and Robin Williams.

Our Fathers: The Secret Life of the Catholic Church in an Age of Scandal
By: FRANCE, DAVID
Published by: Broadway Books
Our Fathers is history at its best—as intimate as a diary, as immediate and epic as a novel. When, in early 2002, a team of Boston Globe reporters broke open the pedophilia scandal around Father John J. Geoghan—and then Paul Shanley, Joseph Birmingham, and hundreds of other priests in Boston and across the country—the entire American Catholic Church spun into crisis.

Why America Slept: The Failure to Prevent 9/11
By: POSNER, GERALD
Published by: Random House Publishing Group
The story of the years leading up to 9/11 is the story of what might have been, and also serves as a call to the defense of America’s future. Since 9/11, one important question has persisted: What was really going on behind the scenes with intelligence services and government leaders during the time preceding the World Trade Center and Pentagon attacks? After an eighteen-month investigation that uncovered explosive new evidence through interviews and in classified documents, Gerald Posner reveals much previously undisclosed information: • the identity of two countries that might have had foreknowledge that a terrorist attack was scheduled for September 11 on U.

After: How America Confronted the September 12 Era
By: Brill, Steven
Published by: SIMON & SCHUSTER
The story begins on September 12, 2001. It reads like a novel. But the characters in award-winning journalist Steven Brill's After are real.

It is because they are so human - so much like the rest of us - that makes the way they rise to the challenge of September 12 such an inspiring story about how America really works.

America's Crisis
By: Jeffs, Daniel B.
Published by: Hard Shell Word Factory
America is steeped in uncertainty. We have been subjected to political terrorism, social aggression, legal anarchy, and media-driven chaos.
