To understand why, you'll need to know how…


A metals trader named Garry accidentally triggered the invasion of Iraq.
Coalition troops were killed by car bombs made with explosives that, according to the White House, never existed
AC-130 gunships killed 80 wedding guests by mistake
The president of Uzbekistan boils people alive.
These are not just random stories of wrongdoing. A History of the World Since 9/11 shows us just why, nearly ten years after the tragic terrorist attacks, we are no closer to winning the War on Terror than we were on September 10. We failed to find Osama bin Laden or quell extremism. We sparked civil war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Across the world, thousands of innocents were forcibly incarcerated, interrogated and abused, all in the name of justice.

Dominic Streatfeild has traveled across the world for two years in search of answers. The result of his research is the most fully-realized study of the War on Terror and of its aftermath on the market. Piercing reportage blends seamlessly with sobering human drama, woven into eight narratives, all told from the ground level, of where the world went wrong after 9/11.
