Terror Century – Are we living in the world that 9/11 created?
About this episode
The episode explores the lasting impact of the 9/11 attacks on American society and politics, featuring insights from terror expert Bruce Hoffman.
A new three-part mini-series from The Bunker… When terrorists murdered 2,977 people in the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago this week, al-Qaeda set America on a dark path which ultimately led to torture, brutal repression and finally national humiliation in Afghanistan and Iraq. But the War on Terror produced something else too: an anti-politics culture of fear and mistrust of leaders which proved fertile ground for the vicious populism of Donald Trump. Are we still living in the world that 9/11 created? In our first episode, terror and insurgency expert Bruce Hoffman of the Center for Security Studies at Georgetown University, Washington explains the fevered atmosphere that created the War on Terror… why the US system failed to prevent the attacks in the first place… and how 9/11 still shapes our world. • Buy God, Guns, and Sedition : Far-Right Terrorism in America by Bruce Hoffman through our affiliate bookshop and you’ll help fund The Bunker by earning us a small commission for every sale.
