About This Episode

Hoover Institution Director Condoleezza Rice reflects on how President Bush became a wartime commander in chief on the morning of 9/11, and how the machinery for defending American territory had yet to be fully developed. Out of that day, she says, came the decision to take the fight to the terrorists, and with it the Bush doctrine.
