An hour with Phyllis Bennis, one of America’s most prominent anti-war intellectuals, on what’s behind the war in Syria and the rise of ISIS, and how to stop the fighting. Bennis is a fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies, as well as at the Transnational Institute in Amsterdam. She has authored a series of primers on the conflicts that our government has entangled itself in, from Palestine to Iran, to Afghanistan. Her brand new book is Understanding ISIS and the New Global War on Terror: A Primer.
