Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Susan Faludi discusses her new book, The Terror Dream, a dissection of the mind of America after 9/11. Faludi shines a light on the country's psychological response to the attacks on that terrible day. Turning her observational powers on the media, popular culture, and political life, she unearths a barely acknowledged but bedrock societal drama shot through with baffling contradictions. The Terror Dream shows what 9/11 revealed about us and offers us the opportunity to look at ourselves anew.
