"AEI Book Forum in New York: CONFRONTING TERROR - 9/11 and the Future of American National Security

Ten years ago, the events of September 11 stunned America. Devastating terrorist attacks forced the nation to fundamentally reassess American national security.

• Why was the United States targeted?

• How did al Qaeda succeed?

• Can we prevent future attacks?

• What means are legal and appropriate to defeat al Qaeda?

• Does the Obama administration represent continuity or a sea change in counterterrorism strategy and tactics?

The nation continues to grapple with these questions a decade later.

Edited by John Yoo, an AEI visiting scholar and former Justice Department official, and Dean Reuter, vice president of the Federalist Society, Confronting Terror sets the stage for a robust discussion of the future of America's fight against terrorism, with new essays examining the meaning of 9/11 and the law and policy of the war on terrorism. Contributors include leading voices from all sides of the political and policy spectrum on America's approach to this struggle. In surveying these views, Yoo hopes to clarify the debate, both for our society and for those responsible for waging the war.

Please join us for a discussion moderated by John Yoo. Contributors Andrew C. McCarthy, Richard A. Epstein, and others will speak on the panel."
