Biography
Matthew Warshauer is a professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, USA, where he has studied and written extensively on what he calls “the American paradox,” the conflicting ideological beliefs and practices of the United States.
"Matt Warshauer’s conceptual insight, his deep research, and his judicious narrative will be invaluable to the reading public, to students in formal study, and to his fellow academics. His grasp of the history of the period is self-evident…; what strikes me, and I suspect may strike you as well, is the originality of his argument in terms of the psychological development of a whole generation of Americans. In this I was reminded of Robert Coles’s landmark work on the psychological impact of the civil-rights struggle on those who undertook the nonviolent dismantling of Jim Crow. I think Matt’s work may well rank in that very rarified company.”
Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize Winner
"Through a wealth of research, consideration, and study, Warshauer, professor of history at Central Connecticut State University, delivers an in-depth investigation of the causes, effects, and viewpoints of the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington. A deeply researched, well-considered dive into the lasting effects of 9/11 and the global war on terror."
