The "team" you are looking for is called JTTF, or "Joint Terrorism Task Force" is is run by the FBI but many forces are part of it, such as other federal agencies that specialize in things (like BATFE for Explosives and Firearms and such) Minimum requirements are a bachelors degree, though law enforcement after receiving a degree will DEFINITELY HELP! Also, you do not need a degree in law enforcement/criminal justice. FBI/DEA/ATF/Homeland Security absolutely LOVE diverse specialities.
They like foreign language, english, science pretty much anything other than art. Another fact is you would start out as a special agent, be on probation for a couple years, then maybe 10-12 years you can specialize in something such as Joint Terrorism Task Force (careful though, you'll be getting lots of calls from airports for lots and LOTS of different things!) hope this helps.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
