In this special episode of the Danger Close Podcast, I sit down with national security expert and New York Times bestselling author Peter Bergen.

We discuss Peter's interview with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan in 1997, his visit to the compound where the leader of al-Qaeda met his fate in Abbottabad, Pakistan in 2011, the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan 2021, and what that has transpired on the world stage since. His new book, ALL THE PRESIDENTS’ WARS, explores our response to 9/11, the growth of the CIA’s armed drone program, the transformation of U.S. Special Operations Forces and CIA paramilitary units, and the role of the NSA in penetrating terrorist communications. The book also examines bin Laden’s escape from Tora Bora in late 2001, the decision to invade Iraq, the Saudi connection to 9/11, and the foreign policy decisions of four administrations that extended the War on Terror for two decades and set the conditions for the current conflict with Iran.

Peter’s book ALL THE PRESIDENTS’ WARS is available now.
