How, within a quarter of a century, did the United States end up with gaping inequality, permanent war, moral confusion, and an increasingly angry and alienated population, as well, of course, the strangest president in American history? Andrew Bacevich, Professor Emeritus of International Relations and History at the Boston University, discusses his new book, The Age of Illusions: How America Squandered Its Cold War Victory, about the post-Cold war follies and delusions that culminated in the age of Donald Trump, with journalist Christopher Lydon, host of Open Source radio.
