Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11

Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11 is a compilation of New York Times columns and diary entries by journalist Thomas L. Friedman written between December 2000 and July 2002, focusing on the political and cultural aftermath of the September 11 attacks. The book recounts Friedman's travels to Afghanistan, Israel, and other regions where he reports on the war on terror, the shifting dynamics of globalization, and the responses of governments and ordinary people to the new security environment. Through his observations and interviews with political leaders, soldiers, and civilians, Friedman examines how the United States and the world adapted to the challenges of the early twenty-first century.
