Gore Vidal in conversation with Lewis Lapham: Understanding America's Terrorist Crisis One of America's most famous novelists, playwrights and essayists had problems publishing his most recent book: Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace, how we got to be so hated. The Federation of American Scientists has catalogued nearly two hundred military incursions since 1945 in which the United States has been the aggressor. Vidal quotes from this list. He spoke at a belated book release event in San Francisco on terrorism, Timothy McVeigh, the Patriot Act and the Bush administration. Could it be, he says, that the greatest victim of the September 11terror attack will be American liberty?
The conversation between Gore Vidal and Lewis Lapham, editor of Harper's Magazine, was sponsored by the Independent Institute.
