A History of the World Since 9\/11shows us just why, a decade after the horrifying attacks on New York and Washington, we are no closer towinning the war on terror than we were on September 10, 2001. We failed to find Osama bin Laden or quellextremism. We sparked civil wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Around the world, innocents were incarcerated,tortured, and murdered-all in the name of justice.\n\nAcclaimed author and journalist Dominic Streatfeild traveled across the world for years in pursuit ofanswers for this stunning collapse of international law. The results of his search form the most fully realized study of the war on terror yet written. Piercing reportage blends with sobering human drama, woven into eight narratives of how our world went wrong after 9\/11.\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury USA, 2011","offers":[{"title":"A History of the World Since 9\/11 Disaster, Deception, and Destruction in the War on Terror \/ Very Good","offer_id":55920416489764,"sku":"9781608192700VG","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_a7934bee-183c-44b4-8a2d-46a5d9712cc3.jpg?v=1785083182","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781608192700","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
