25 Years On: September 11th and the Remaking of the Modern World

For those thousands in the South Tower, the second plane meant the end of everything. For us, its glint was the worldflash of a coming future. - Martin Amis in the Guardian on 18th September 2001 Mark the 25th anniversary of 9/11 with an evening of insight and reflection at IWM London. Join senior international defence officials, terrorism experts and political analysts from both sides of the Atlantic, as they examine how the attacks of 11 September 2001 reshaped global politics, security, and society, and continue to influence the world today. This special discussion will offer unique perspectives on one of the most consequential events of the 21st century. Twenty-five years since the attacks, the world is still living with their consequences. From far-reaching counterterrorism measures to the enduring impacts of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, September 11th has changed the global order and the way we live our lives forever. For many, they represented a symbolic end of the optimistic post-Cold War era; a generation has grown up in an age defined by ever-present terrorism threats, seemingly unending wars and constantly heightened security. And now, as geopolitical tensions increase, it has never seemed more important to look back at the attacks to examine the forces they unleashed and consider their long-term impact. Adults £25
