I am a law enforcement analyst with terrorism as a lane. We have come a long way since 9/11 but are there other lessons in terms of terrorism that we are missing as a nation or as a profession? What needs to be Done?
Lawrence Wright
Thanks, Alan. I'll just mention the things that concern me. Right now, we're paying no attention to ISIS or al-Qaeda. Both are spreading, especially in states weekend by the coronavirus. New groups, especially white power groups, are infecting society. All terror groups have access to dangerous new technology, such as drones, that are going to make countering them even more difficult. Glad you're on the case.

Hi there, Mr. Wright! Massive fan of your work in The Looming Tower and just getting into The Terror Years now. I'm an aspiring writer currently beginning my research into a similar topic and was wondering if you had any tips on finding and synthesizing sources into something as readable as what you've written in the past? Thanks!

I’ve recommended “God Save Texas” to everyone who will listen! What’s it like— in the current political and social climate and with the pandemic and threats to re-open— to be a creative, liberal-minded resident in Texas right now? Have your dealings in the past with the Bush family shaped your views of right wing politics in the state/humanized some current politicians you may disagree with policy-wise?
