{"product_id":"the-shock-and-awing-of-ximena-ortiz-9781481070218","title":"The Shock and Awing of America: Echoing Consequences of Fear and Alienation","description":"America attempted to Shock and Awe Iraq in 2003. But the doctrine was more deliberately and effectively applied to the United States on 9\/11\/2001. With a minuscule force size and war chest, America's attackers were able to deal a compounding psychological blow through a variety of tactics. As a result of that echoing shock and awe, the United States has not achieved the recovery that seems its birthright. Americans see events through a 9\/11 prism. The psychological injury of the Boston Marathon bombings was magnified by that refracted perspective. The overhang from 9\/11 continues to beget mistakes, prodding broad-based economic malaise, cultural devolution and policy transgressions, such as the NSA's Leviathan phone-snooping program. As a result, America has entered a very specific type of decline.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ximena Ortiz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481070215\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481070218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.75d","brand":"Ximena Ortiz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48518618939647,"sku":"9781481070218","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_728ddcfe-6c36-484f-85f7-027e497025d2.jpg?v=1778735000","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-shock-and-awing-of-ximena-ortiz-9781481070218","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
