The common theme among the listed books is the examination of significant events, policies, and issues that have shaped the United States in the 21st century. Many of the books delve into the aftermath and impact of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, including critical analysis of government response, national security policies, and foreign policy decisions. Other books explore broader themes such as American imperialism, financial crises, social justice issues, and political corruption. Several memoirs from key players in government and military provide first-hand accounts of historical events. The collection also includes works on cultural history, feminism, sustainable development, and philosophical discussions.
