About this talk

The Centre for Statecraft and National Security hosts Prof Bruce Hoffman for a lecture on 'Lessons Learned, Lessons Forgotten: Reflections on How 9/11 Shaped the Current and Future Terrorist Threat'. The Engelsberg Annual Lecture in Applied History was established in 2019 with the intention of bringing prominent historians, political scientists and policymakers to King's College London for reflections on the ways that historical study shapes contemporary foreign policy. Supported by the Ax:son Johnson Foundation, the Annual Lecture is delivered to King's undergraduates, postgraduates, faculty, and other colleagues from around the United Kingdom. Professor Hoffman will examine the immediate consequences and ongoing repercussions of the 9/11 attacks and the U.S.-led global war on terror that followed. It will assess how terrorism and counterterrorism have evolved since 9/11 and the lessons both learned and unlearned in countering terrorism over the past quarter century.
