A well told documentary series, put together by the London Review of Books, looking at how 9/11 changed the world we live in and how it altered everything from our personal liberty to an unprecedented expansion of American surveillance around the world.
The series uses the archive of the London Review of Books to look at how public debate at that time had been narrowed and how this paved the way for preemptive force and the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
“It was only the morning after, and a consensus in the media was already starting to emerge. A narrowing of public discourse of what was acceptable and not acceptable to say,” says senior editor Daniel Soar.
