"Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump": Spencer Ackerman
"The 'war on terror' was always a construct to be waged, never quite to be ended."
Ackerman says the "war on terror" and its repercussions have extended past U.S. ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to its current war on Iran, Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank and the development of extensive surveillance architecture and state repression of Muslim minority groups around the world. "A whole lot of regimes around the world, rising powers looking for their own advantage, saw what the United States was constructing and realized they wanted that for themselves," he says.
