TOP REVIEWS FROM UNDERSTANDING 9/11: WHY 9/11 HAPPENED & HOW TERRORISM AFFECTS OUR WORLD TODAY
Great course for understanding roots of terrorism and how false interpretation causes it.
Outstanding course and content; the interviews really enriched my learning.
It is a good course to learn more about terrorism but largely from US perspective and the role of various American agencies. Also, I think the policy memo exercise is not very useful.
good info about terrorism all the way to the present
