\n

Through intense reporting and me ticulous recreation\, from the battlefield to the courthouse\, \;Race Against Terror \;tells the story of a man ra dicalized to enact violence\, of the courageous soldiers who risked their lives for each other\, and the diverse set of law enforcement\, intelligen ce\, and military personnel who work tirelessly to stay one step ahead of disaster. In doing so\, Jake Tapper uncovers a gripping narrative history that reveals the true costs of the War on Terror and delivers a salient wa rning for the increasing threats we face to this day.

\n

June 2011: a man fleeing the Arab Spring on a refugee boat surrenders himself to Itali an authorities. He claims that\, as a terrorist\, he is responsible for th e deaths of American soldiers. This unexpected surrender sets off an unlik ely chain of events and one of the most significant\, but little-known\, c ases in American history.

\n

When federal prosecutors Dave Bitkower a nd Shreve Ariail get the call from the FBI that the Italians have known te rrorist Spin Ghul in custody\, they immediately recognize the stakes of th e situation. Determined to deliver justice for the soldiers killed in comb at\, they must traverse the globe\, uncovering facts and evidence from tho usands of miles away on a remote battlefield in Afghanistan.

\n

Jake Tapper will be in conversation with Mike McIntyre\, executive edit or of Ideastream Public Media and host of the "Sound of Ideas Reporters Ro undtable" on 89.7 WKSU and "Ideas" on WVIZ-PBS.
