The book explores the contrasting expressions of patriotism in America following the September 11, 2001 attacks. It highlights the rise of a war-based patriotism that rallied support for military actions in Afghanistan and Iraq, alongside a call for empathic patriotism that acknowledged the suffering caused by these events. Two decades later, these divergent forms of patriotism continue to influence the nation's historical narrative and political landscape regarding the legacy of 9/11.
