The essays in this collection take a sometimes sobering, sometimes uplifiting look at this historic turning point in our lives. The distinguished contributors (Anne Applebaum, James Bowman, John Corry, Roger Kimball, Daniel Pipes, John Podhorerz, Byron York) examine the effects on our foreign and domestic policies, on our popular culture, on the Islamic world, and more, revealing that despite earth-shaking changes we ultimately remain who we are.
