Abstract

Letter From Ground Zero
Schell, Jonathan | December 24, 2001 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on terrorism across the world. The days before and days after the first world war are separated not like the end of an old and the beginning of a new period but like the day before and the day after an explosion. The explosion seems to have touched off a chain reaction in which people have been caught ever since and which nobody seems to be able to stop. The chain reaction was the abrupt, unstoppable plunge into the protracted, unprecedented savagery of the two world wars and the two great totalitarian regimes, Soviet and Nazi, of the century's first half.
