The 2000s Decade in Photos

The decade 2000-2009 marked a new era in history. After terrorists attacked on September 11, 2001, America declared a "war on terrorism." U.S. soldiers were sent to Afghanistan and, later, to Iraq. Fears of global warming convinced people to "go green." It was the decade of mobile phones, portable music players, and reality TV. The fast-paced 2000s are a decade to be remembered. Book jacket.

Jim Corrigan has written numerous history books and biographies for students and adults. These include Causes of World War II, The 48th Pennsylvania in the Battle of the Crater: A Regiment of Coal Miners Who Tunneled Under the Enemy, and Alan Turing.
