Why people recommend it

Reign of Terror by Spencer Ackerman is a comprehensive critical history examining how the political and cultural fallout of the September 11 attacks fundamentally deranged American democracy, national security, and public life. Ezra Klein brought up Ackerman's work on The Ezra Klein Show, citing it as the best analysis of the post-9/11 era and using its insights to explain how the era's politics made the presentation of historical context scandalous. Robert Evans promoted the book during closing plugs on Behind the Bastards ahead of its publication, encouraging listeners to pick up the national security reporter's new release. Jennifer Szalai also discussed the title on The Book Review, detailing her critical review of the volume and noting Ackerman's extensive background covering national security for various prominent publications. Across these diverse podcast appearances, hosts and guests turned to Ackerman's rigorous investigative reporting to make sense of the enduring domestic and international consequences born from two decades of American counterterrorism policy.
