Reign of Terror: How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump by Spencer Ackerman

4.0

As someone who was too young to pay attention to news and politics before Trump's rise, this book helped me learn the details of America's response to 9/11 from 2001-2016. But overall, I felt like the book was too condensed and needed way more space for such a massive topic. Otherwise, it was filled with apt criticisms of the war on terror, and a good starting point for those who want to understand how the response to 9/11 directly led to the rise of American fascism.
