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

challenging informative medium-paced

4.0

It builds its case well of a direct through line going into the 9/11 era and marching into the modern day. While I lived through these events, I was too young for a lot of the earlier stuff to fully understand how that tied into what has been happening in the present, and this provides a clean, good summary without getting too bogged down in detail from a leftist perspective. I don't know that I enjoyed this book. Does anyone really "enjoy" the fact that these events happened? But it's a good modern US history book with a specific focus, and I am glad that I finished it.
