This comprehensive book delves into the enigmatic realm of sleeper agents, exploring their significance within the post-9/11 political, journalistic, and fictional discourse. It sheds light on the prevailing tendency to perceive the terroristic threat following 9/11 as either an distant adversary to be relentlessly pursued by military might or as an omnipresent, intangible menace that necessitates perpetual vigilance within one's own home. The missing piece of this puzzle lies in the sleeper agent, the foreign adversary who inconspicuously blends in among US citizens. Through a meticulous analysis of popular television shows, numerous US comic books, and a diverse range of Hollywood films that depict sleeper agents either directly or allegorically, this book uncovers how a shift in perspective, from terrorist to sleeper agent, unveils fresh insights into our comprehension of post-9/11 representations of terrorism. With its interdisciplinary approach, spanning media studies, cultural studies, and American studies, this book appeals to a wide range of fields, including historical research, narratology, popular culture, as well as media and terrorism studies. By delving into the complexities of sleeper agents and their role in shaping post-9/11 narratives, this book offers valuable perspectives and insights that will captivate scholars, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
