Days of Infamy: December 7 and 9/11
URL: http://americanradioworks.publicradio.org/features/daysofinfamy/

Description:
This site compares and contrasts two very similar projects separated by 60 years: audio interviews with "ordinary Americans," made in the days immediately following the attack on Pearl Harbor and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Find interviews and transcripts, and discussions with "prominent, thoughtful Americans who've lived through both attacks," such as musician Pete Seeger and U.S. Senator Daniel Inouye. A co-production of the Center for Documentary Studies at Duke University and American RadioWorks.
