A History of the World Since 9 - Softcover
In A History of the World Since 9/11 Dominic Streatfeild expertly combines history, biography and investigative journalism to show how a massacre on a clear September day in 2001 has touched the lives of millions of people around the world. In a series of brilliantly interlinked chapters he shows how an Afghani wedding party; and a gas station proprietor in Texas; and a planespotter in Mallorca have been affected, sometimes devastatingly, by the American response to the attacks on the Twin Towers. Streatfeild shows how the sleep of reason and good sense in successive US administrations post-9/11 has brought forth the monsters of extraordinary rendition, Guantanamo Bay, extrajudicial execution and wholesale contravention of international law. This is a work that informs as it entertains and induces outrage as it inspires.

Review:
Anger crackles from every page of this book. * Daily Telegraph * This is a highly readable book, penetrating in its insights and clear in its arguments. * The Australian * Marvellously engrossing... Streatfeild's narrative control cannot be faulted. You know where every story is going, but how it gets there is always a thrill. His research is formidable. * Sunday Times on BRAINWASHED *
