Digital National Security Archive This link opens in a new windowFrom the nongovernmental National Security Archive, this resource consists declassified government documents covering U.S. policy toward critical world events – including military, intelligence, diplomatic and human rights dimensions – from 1945 to the present. Each collection features chronologies, glossaries, bibliographies, and scholarly overviews. Within the Digital National Security Archive is the Terrorism and U.S. Policy, 1968–2002 database. The principal focus of this collection is international terrorism, beginning with the July 1968 hijacking of an El Al jet to Algiers, other incidents, and the 9/11 attack and aftermath. Beyond the immediacy of these descriptive documents, the materials in this collection also give a uniquely detailed portrait of the enormous counter-terrorism planning and decision-making apparatus that has grown over the years within the U.S. government.
