This volume examines the success of the 9/11 attacks in undermining the cherished principles of western democracy, free speech and association, and of tolerance, which were central to US values. It is argued that this has led to the US fighting disastrous wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and to sanctioning the use of torture and imprisonment without trial in Guantanamo Bay, Extraordinary Rendition and Surveillance, and drone attacks. At home, it has resulted in restrictions of civil liberties and the growth of an ill-affordable military and security apparatus. The authors note the irony that the shocking destruction on the World Trade Center on 9/11 should become the justification for the relentless expansion of security agencies. Yet, this is a salutary illustration of how the security agencies in the USA have adopted faulty preconceptions, which have become too embedded within the institution to be abandoned without loss of credibility and prestige. As we approach the twentieth anniversary of that dreadful event on the Twin Towers, the book presents a timely assessment of both the human rights costs of the 'War on Terror' and the methods used to wage and relentlessly continue that War. To explain an event is not to excuse it. The security behemoth created and enlarged after 9/11 may have its effectiveness in doubt, as this book shows, but that has not prevented it being rejuvenated and expanded.
