520 "In this original and affecting account of New York after
the September 11 attacks, Scott L. Malcomson draws us back
to a time of extraordinary clarity and exceptional
confusion about America's sense of itself and its place in
the world. By doing so, he helps to make sense of where we
were and where we have now arrived. This is a cathartic
and honest work."--Stere Coll, author of Ghost Wars and
The Bin Ladens and president of the New America
Foundation.
520 "With the intelligence and decency of a cosmopolitan who
also loves his country, Scott L. Malcomson helps us to
understand both the local human consequences and the
global political significance of the terrorist attacks of
9/11 and the attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad two
years later. Generation's End is a deeply human reflection
on his own responses, as a husband and father, a friend
and a colleague, a journalist and an editor, and as an
American and a citizen of the world."--Kirame Authony
Appiab, author of The Honor Code and Cosmopolitanism and
president of PEN American Center.
520 "Generation's End returns us to a harrowing period in all
its confusion and loss, but this time we have a guide.
Malcomson's brave investigations lead us to a new, keen
understanding of how the early years after 9/11 still
shape our world today."--Colson Whitehead, author of The
Colossus of New York.
520 As we approach the tenth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks,
we have a chance to see more clearly how they were a
turning point in America's relationship with the world.
America became more assertive abroad; its authority and
legitimacy as the only superpower became more widely
opposed: and the limitations of the U.S.-dominated post-
World War II international structures became more evident
with each passing year.
520 The first half of Generation's End examines the aftermath
of the 9/11 terrorist attacks through the invasion of Iraq
in 2003. As the foreign affairs Op-Ed editor for the New
York Times during this period, Scott L. Malcomson
witnessed the newspaper's struggles to deal with the
threats to its city and to American security. He captures
the confusion and bravery of those times with disarming
honesty while also providing insight into the shaping of
American (and Times) Policy.
520 The latter half takes Malcomson to Geneva, where in early
2003 he became senior adviser to the new UN High
Commissioner for Human Rights, Sergio Vieira de Mello.
When Vieira de Mello was selected as the UN's special
representative for Iraq, Malcomson counseled him closely,
writing strategy memos, speeches, and Op-Eds (including
politically sensitive material revealed here for the first
time). The killing of Vieira de Mello by al Qaeda in
Baghdad, movingly evoked here by Malcomson, brings a
measure of closure to a very brief but critical two years
that, as George Packer notes in his foreword, "contain all
the decisions that would set in motion the larger era." In
an epilogue, Malcomson positions the Obama administration
in the context of this formative period. --Book Jacket.
