Books you can read online IN FULL include those that look at how religion has been viewed differently since 9/11, writings that recount personal experiences of that fateful day, and texts on the continued effects on our liberties, the media, and legislation.  These books have been published by a variety of academic presses over the last ten years. Please “check one out” today before they’re gone.

In addition to these electronic resources, the UT Libraries have many print resources on the September 11 Terrorist Attacks and the War on Terrorism.  Click on the links to browse our library catalog.
