Days of Infamy: December 7 and 9/11
Attacks  on a country's home soil leave indelible scars. Often an iconic photograph comes to symbolize such events, but the voices of the people illuminate the depth of reactions in a way that no single picture can. Days of Infamy, focuses on two of the deadliest attacks on the United States: Pearl Harbor and 9/11. The accounts from ordinary citizens in the wake of the disasters are both moving and personal. Compare the responses from citizens in 1941 and 2001 and the effect these tragedies had on their views on patriotism, sacrifice, and the alleged "enemy among us." Despite the 60-year difference between attacks, you'll find the fears and hopes of those interviewed are remarkably similar. (in U.S. History) |
