Steven Brill Talks with Bill Moyers about Life After 9/12
pbs.org

Writer and publisher Steven Brill has just released a new book on the challenges of life in the United States after September 11. AFTER: HOW AMERICA CONFRONTED THE SEPTEMBER 12 ERA presents a powerful and sweeping story of America in the year after September 11, 2001. Drawing on 347 on-the-record interviews, as well as revelations from court filings, memos from government meetings, and other documents, Brill takes readers from the White House to Ground Zero, from late-night lobbying sessions on Capitol Hill to the living rooms of 9/11 widows, from the boardroom of the Red Cross to the air marshals' training center, from FBI and Justice Department strategy sessions to raids on illegal immigrants - and reveals how America and its people struggled to deal with the new era suddenly thrust upon them.
AFTER shows a Customs inspector struggling to protect the New York harbor from terrorists; a Border Patrol officer in Detroit fighting to make the northern border more secure; a small business owner near Ground Zero trying to rebuild his shoe repair shop; a Silicon Valley entrepreneur lobbying to get his baggage screening systems into every airport; Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge battling the bureaucratic minefields of Washington; a New Jersey widow struggling to help her three children recover from the loss of their father; and many others.
