| Summary: | Nearly ten years after September 11, 2001, in an effort to focus in sharp relief the events following the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the failed attempt aimed at the White House, Nicole Janz examines then President George W. Bush's endeavor to pull the nation together under the banner of civil religion. The title of the book is taken from one of those inspiring post-9/11 speeches. Originally a master's thesis at the Free University of Berlin, Janz's study points out that presidents throughout America's history have woven civil religion into their speeches, and Bush's rhetoric following 9/11 was nothing new or unique. |
