The attacks of September 11, 2001, were the deadliest terrorist assault on American soil, killing nearly 3,000 people and altering the trajectory of U.S. domestic and foreign policy for a generation. Within hours of the Twin Towers' collapse, the United States entered a new epoch-defined by the language of homeland security, the construction of a global counterterrorism infrastructure, and the invocation of perpetual threat.

Yet the significance of 9/11 extends far beyond the tragedy of that day. The event became a pivot point in modern political history, reshaping legal norms, diplomatic alliances, military engagement, surveillance practices, and national identity. From the passage of the USA PATRIOT Act and the creation of the Department of Homeland Security to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the post-9/11 world gave rise to a new kind of national security state-more expansive, more secretive, and more insulated from democratic oversight than anything seen in the post-Watergate era.
