In Spiral: Trapped in the Forever War, award-winning journalist Mark Danner offers readers a shrewd analysis of why America’s War on Terror has persisted for well over a decade and why it seems to have no end in sight. In a talk and subsequent interview with KPFA’s Linda Khoury on July 13, 2016 at Berkeley’s Hillside Club, Danner describes the ways in which the terrorist attacks of 9/11 have led America into a perpetual and continuously widening war that has put the country in an endless “state of exception.”
