About This Episode
The 9/11 attacks on the US were 25 years ago this week and, while there hasn’t been a second such shock, questions remain as to the Free World’s preparedness, whether a divided America can rediscover unity, and the strength of international alliances. Phillip Zelikow, the Hoover Institution’s Botha-Chan senior fellow and executive director of the 9/11 Commission, discusses lessons learned from the attack. Across America and throughout the free world, citizens ask: What is happening to the old order and what will replace it? What comes next? This is a generational moment for an institution like Hoover. We are scholars. We are also citizens.
